"It's from Anne Stewart the girl who used to teach at Bear Forks school that time the teacher got sick and had to leave for a few months. You know the pretty one with the blonde hair that all the big scholars raved over?" announced Polly. "Oh, yes! The one that you said was so happy to be in this wonderful country?" "Yes, that's the girl! Well, guess what she writes me?"
They formed a brilliant bit of color in the centre of the table when dinner was served, and caused Randy to talk once more of the concert. "It was all so charming that I suppose I stared; at least Polly Lawrence said that I did." "I saw Polly with you just as we were leaving the hall," said Helen, "what did you say that she said?"
However, this Germany idea suits me to a T. You know I didn't want to come away when I did if it hadn't been for Pollyanna. So the sooner we get back there the better I'm satisfied. And I'd like to stay for a little practice, as well as study." "Then that's settled." And Aunt Polly gave a satisfied sigh. All Beldingsville was fairly aquiver with excitement.
Shaw, turning suddenly to Polly. "Oh, please, sir, don't ask me. I promised I would n't that is Fanny will tell you," cried Polly, quite red with distress at the predicament she was in. "No matter about your promise; tell me all you know of this absurd affair. It will do Fanny more good than harm." And Mr. Shaw sat down looking more amiable, for Polly's dismay touched him.
Then she turned away with a half-smile, saying to herself, "Poor Polly! She has hard times fighting her temper; but Molly does tease her unmercifully. After all, she comes naturally by it, for she's very much as I was, at her age." "What's the matter?" queried Aunt Jane, as her sister came back and took up her work once more. "Have Molly and Polly been having another fuss?"
He had shown himself to be so brave that no one dared oppose him, and after staying a month at the castle, he rode away, carrying the lovely Princess Lora as his bride, and they lived happy ever after." "There!" cried Polly, "I've told that almost word for word."
"Hot day?" questioned Rob, but Gwen chose not to notice what he said. "Oh o!" said Princess Polly, and "Oh oo oo!" said Lena, but Rob asked a question. "Did your fine lady come down on the floor in a heap?" "Did she BUST her feather fan?" questioned Harry Grafton. "You're not nice to laugh when I'm telling a story," said Gwen, "and I guess you wouldn't have laughed if you'd BEEN there!"
Hamilton, who was in the rear, and who, having waited an hour for dinner, had descended to the kitchen to know why it was not forthcoming, saying that Polly had never been so behind the time. The other one, on being asked if she understood chamber work, had replied, "Indade, and it's been my business all my life." She was accordingly sent to make the beds and empty the slop.
"Then I'm sure Providence hasn't had anything to do with this," said Charlotte shortly, "and Polly shall never be tormented into thinking it her duty either," and she turned off to pick up a new gown "in the works" for Johnny. "What you think duty, Miss Chatterton, wouldn't be Polly Pepper's idea of duty in the least," said Mrs.
"Oh, no!" cried Polly, putting out her hand as it to keep him, and then snatching it back again before he could turn round. "It would be hard on mother and the girls, I suppose; besides, I don't quite like it myself; looks as if I shirked and ran away." "So it does," said Polly, decidedly. "Well, you see I don't seem to find anything to do unless I turn clerk, and I don't think that would suit.
