"Where did you find her?" cut in Mrs. Carew, turning imperiously to Pollyanna's escort, who was, at the moment, gazing in frank admiration at the wonders about him in the brilliantly-lighted hall. "Where did you find her, boy?" she repeated sharply.
Snow had that jelly to-day as usual. That is all. You may go now." Pollyanna's face fell. "Oh, but Aunt Polly, HERS will last. She can always be sick and have things, you know; but his is just a broken leg, and legs don't last I mean, broken ones. He's had it a whole week now." "Yes, I remember. I heard Mr.
Straight ahead, now, the little dog dashed madly; and it was not long before Pollyanna came upon the reason for it all: a man lying motionless at the foot of a steep, overhanging mass of rock a few yards from the side path. A twig cracked sharply under Pollyanna's foot, and the man turned his head. With a cry of dismay Pollyanna ran to his side. "Mr. Pendleton! Oh, are you hurt?" "Hurt? Oh, no!
Why, Miss Pollyanna, there ain't no tellin' how she'd miss ye if ye wa'n't here," finished Nancy, speaking with an enthusiastic certainty that was meant to hide the perilous admission she had almost made before. Even then she was not quite prepared for the sudden joy that illumined Pollyanna's face. "Oh, Nancy, I'm so glad glad glad! You don't know how glad I am that Aunt Polly wants me!"
The fifth time it happened, Miss Polly moved her head wearily. "There, there, child, say it, if you want to," she sighed. "I'm sure I'd rather you did than not if it's going to make all this fuss." Pollyanna's puckered little face cleared. "Oh, thank you. I'm afraid it would be pretty hard not to say it. You see I've played it so long." "You've what?" demanded Aunt Polly.
He knew, too, that never again would a long day's work or a long night's weariness be quite without that new-found exaltation that had come to him through Pollyanna's eyes. "God bless you, little girl," he said unsteadily.
This was a poor start for a holiday, but being near a delightful inn, we crept slowly to town on our rim and found a fête awaiting us. We also found friends from the East who asked us all to lunch, thereby, as one member of the party put it in Pollyanna's true spirit, much decreasing the price of the new tire.
Oh, yes, I know it's the game," she went on, in answer to the look that came to Pollyanna's face. "And it's a very good game, too; but I think you carry it altogether too far. This eternal doctrine of 'it might be worse' has got on my nerves, Pollyanna. Honestly, it would be a real relief if you WOULDN'T be glad for something, sometime!" "Why, auntie!" Pollyanna pulled herself half erect.
It was all very well to decide alone and in the dark that he would give Jamie his chance; but it was quite another matter really to do it when it involved nothing less than the leaving of Pollyanna and Jamie together almost every time he saw them. Then, too, he was very much worried at Pollyanna's apparent attitude toward the lame youth.
He'd cut off his right hand for me Jerry would; but he loves to tease. Where'd you see him? Does he know you? He didn't tell me your name." "I'm Pollyanna Whittier. I was lost and he found me and took me home," answered Pollyanna, still a little dazedly. "I see. Just like him," nodded the boy. "Don't he tote me up here every day?" A quick sympathy came to Pollyanna's eyes.
