So I left the book with the maid and said that you sent it to Mr. Parcell that was right, wasn't it?" "Certainly, and I thank you ever so much. I do hope he won't think me presumptuous," she added. "Why, how could he such a beautiful book as yours?" "I don't know. He might. I lay awake last night thinking about it." "You shouldn't have stayed awake a minute," laughed Polly.
I have seen her only occasionally." "She told me that you called upon her every year or two." Polly hesitated. "You can judge something by her poems. You received the book of poems she sent you?" "Oh, yes!" he brightened. "I have the book." "How do you like it, Mr. Parcell? Don't you think the poems wonderful?"
On her way home in the afternoon, the matter came up again. "I may as well go now and have it over with," she decided suddenly, and she turned into a street which led to the home of the Reverend Norman Parcell. Yes, he was in and alone, the maid said, and Polly was shown directly to the study. "How do you do, Miss Polly!" The minister grasped her hand cordially. "This is a pleasant surprise."
She began to wish that she had not urged Miss Twining to send the book to Mr. Parcell. She even suggested making some errand to the house and asking, quite casually, of course, how they liked Miss Twining's book, but the little woman so promptly declared Polly should do nothing of the sort that the plan was given up at once.

And the worst that might happen in that course might be excused without prejudice vnto him by the former supposition, that those North regions were of no regard: but chiefly a possession taken in any parcell of those heathen countreys, by vertue of his grant, did inuest him of territories extending euery way two hundred leagues: which induced sir Humfry Gilbert to make those assignments, desiring greatly their expedition, because his commission did expire after six yeres, if in that space he had not gotten actuall possession.
The same way you came from death to life, returne without passion or amazement, from life to death: your death is but a peece of the worlds order, and but a parcell of the worlds life. Mortall men live by mutuall entercourse: And yeeld their life-torch, as men in a course. Shal I not change this goodly contexture of things for you?
Manie sorts of people therefore have come in hither and settled themselves here in this Ile, and first of all other, a parcell of the lineage and posteritie of Japhet, brought in by Samothes, in the 1910 after the creation of Adam.
"Your eyes are quicker than mine," said Mr. Parcell, taking it from her hand. "Read it!" she said, and went back to her chair, The minister obeyed meekly. Polly's eyes did not leave him. He had opened the book at random, and with deepened color and a disturbed countenance had done as he was bidden. Surprise, pleasure, astonishment, delight, all these the watcher saw in the face above the pages.
Polly drew a long breath of delight. "I shall love it forever and you, too!" Impulsively she put her arms round Miss Twining's neck and kissed her on both cheeks. "If I thought Mr. Parcell wouldn't think it queer," hesitated Miss Twining, "I have several copies, and I'd like to give him one; but I don't know " "Of course he wouldn't think it queer!" asserted Polly. "He'd be delighted!
Randolph with our awful story. I guess she is right. That stirred us up to do something. Miss Twining is pretty well now. She writes nearly every day, and as she can sell as much as she likes she earns a good deal. She told me once how she had always longed to hear one of her poems read in church. Well, last Sunday Mr. Parcell finished up his sermon with her "Peter the Great."
