But, surely, it seems to me if I am willing to do my duty in seeing that you have proper care and instruction, YOU ought to be willing to do yours by seeing that that care and instruction are not ungratefully wasted." Pollyanna looked shocked. "Oh, Aunt Polly, as if I ever could be ungrateful to YOU! Why, I LOVE YOU and you aren't even a Ladies' Aider; you're an aunt!"
Through the distorting medium of such sufferings as I have described, women and men even young women were repellent to me alike. Ungratefully impatient of the admiration excited by my personal advantages, savagely irritated by tender looks and flattering compliments, I only consented take lodgings, on condition that there should be no young women living under the same roof with me.

She went to the door herself when Agatha rang, and then she was going to open the way into the parlor where March was still closeted with Burnamy, and pretend that she had not known they were there.
