Stop throwing dish water in my face, Nolla!" cried Polly, with eyes screwed shut and one free hand trying to rub the smarting lye from her eye. "I never did, Polly! It must have splashed accidentally when I was washing the pan."
Eleanor smiled self-complacently at Polly, but the latter retorted: "I owe you nothing on an exchange, Nolla, because you must admit that I have filled you up with ideas you never dreamed of before you came to the ranch!" "Shake, old girl!" laughed Eleanor, holding out her hand. "But about New York girls. It would be great if you can fix it.
Jumping from the saddle and hobbling the animal, he very carefully crawled over the apparently safe surface between himself and the ravine. "Now I'm sure that's what happened, Nolla, or Jeb wouldn't try to get over there. He's going to see just how bad things are." "Poll, we'd better run as fast as we can, and get things ready at the ranch.
Polly was at a loss to understand why such secrecy should exist between these two sisters Bob refusing to confide in Eleanor, and Nolla smilingly keeping her own counsel, about the important errands. As Eleanor had suspected, Barbara went directly to the box-car where the telegrams were received. But to the latter's disappointment, there was one only and that one was for Eleanor Maynard!
Now and then she caught such words as "you know all about such things, Nolla," or Eleanor might say "she will be on top of the heap, if I know it, Mrs. Brewster," so it was evident that she, Polly, was the subject of their conversation. But Polly herself, felt little concern about it all, as she saw the forlorn expression on her father's face as he went about his ranch-duties.
Just when she felt compelled to turn up her skirt to use the ruffle of her white petticoat, Anne came in. "Why, Nolla! What has happened?" "Oo-h, Anne I lost my handkerchief!" "Is that all, darling! Here use mine It's clean. But don't cry over a trifle like that. It is sure to be somewhere about the place."

"There speaks the logical one," laughed Eleanor. "Polly will have more than enough in the bank to defray all bills while in New York, Nolla, without borrowing from the mine."
We will take our lunch and spend the day with them. As it is half-way on the Bear Forks road we might as well ride with our boys when they go." "Polly, we plan to leave here before dawn so we can be on the climb when day breaks. Nolla and you will please remember to be fast asleep at that time. Good-night!"
We washed the torn flesh with water, and father poured on something from a bottle that made the old fellow squirm, but he sensed that we were helping him and he offered no resistance. "Well, Nolla, when we were done with our surgical work, you just ought to have seen that beaver's gratitude shining from his round eyes. "When he had recovered sufficiently to start for home, father swam beside him.
I agree with you that children should be brought up in a strict and orderly way, because they might otherwise start on the wrong road, and nobody loves such children. But Loneli is not that kind at all. There is no child in Nolla whom I would rather see with my own." Apollonie's honest face glowed anew. "That is my greatest consolation," she said, "and I need it.
