glad to think she can do it ! and
that was all Miss Pollyanna's doing,

she could be glad she'd got her hands

mother wonder tight away why she
didn't do something with her hands

"I am sorry, but she sees no one

Mrs. Benton wiped her eyes, rose,
and turned to go. But after she had
almost reached the hall .. door she
came back hurriedly.
"Miss Harrington, perhaps you'd
gjve her a message," she stammerd.
"Certainly, Mrs. Benton; I shall be
very glad to."

then she. spoke.
"Will you tell her, please, that
that I've put on this," she said, just
