There'd be to-morrow, and next week, and next month, and next year comin'; and I'd know before next week that I hadn't oughter come." If Mrs. Carew had thought that the New Year's Eve party was to end the matter of Pollyanna's efforts in behalf of Sadie Dean, she was soon undeceived; for the very next morning Pollyanna began to talk of her.
Strange as the thing was, she had come to think of Sadie as her friend. Her loyalty and her patience with her husband commanded respect, and now it looked as if they would be rewarded. Bob was taking an interest in his farm and had worked with steady industry for the last month or two.
I can't beg from her, after refusing the only thing she has asked." "You're a bit of a fool," Charnock remarked with a grin. "I've begged from Sadie often and imagine she liked me for it; anyhow she expected it. But if you have made up your mind, I expect I can't persuade you." Festing's gesture indicated an unshaken resolve, and Charnock said: "Then I'm going to stop and see you through."
Yes, Peter was safe, but it bad been a close call, and he still had painful scenes to play his part in. He had to go back to the Todd home and meet the frantic Sadie, and weep and be horrified with the rest of them. It would have been suspicious if he had not done this; the "comrades" would never have forgiven him.
"It is perfectly lovely of you, and I can never tell you how much it means to me!" Sadie replied, with a long breath of relief, while she wiped the hot tears from her cheeks.

I've talked to the judge.
"Now," she said, "you can tell me all you did at the construction camp, and leave nothing out." Charnock was frank. He knew Sadie understood him, perhaps better than he understood himself, and if his narrative gave her any pleasure, he thought she deserved it. Moreover, when he wanted he talked rather well, making his meaning clear without saying too much.
"I wish she was, I wish she was. You were saying, Bud " "I was saying that if Sadie were here, she'd fix you mighty quick." "Would she? God bless her!" He stared sentimentally at the photograph. "Yes, she would.
