章节摘录

　　"I don't think I quite understand， Milly. Just what is it that youwant me to tell my niece？" "Yes， that's it; I want you to tell her，" answered the girl，feverishly. "Make her see what she's done for us. Of course she'sseen some things， because she's been there， and she's knownmother is different; but I want her to know how different sheis-and me， too. I'm different. I've been trying to play it-the game-a little."　　Miss Polly frowned. She would have asked what Milly meantby this "game，" but there was no opportunity. Milly was rushing onagain with nervous volubility.　　"You know nothing was ever right before-for mother. She was always wanting me different. And， really， I don't know as onecould blame her much-under the circumstances. But now she letsme keep the shades up， and she takes interest in things-how shelooks， and her nightdress， and all that. And she's actually begun toknit little things-reins and baby blankets for fairs and hospitals.And she's so interested， and so glad to think she can do it！-andthat was all Miss Pollyanna's doings， you know， 'cause she toldmother she could be glad she'd got her hands and arms， anyway，and that made mother wonder right away why she didn't dosomething with her hands and arms. And so she began to do something-to knit， you know. And you can't think what a different room it is now， what with the red and blue and yellow worsteds， andthe prisms in the window that she gave her-why， it actually makesyou feel better just to go in there now; and before I used to dread itawfully， it was so dark and gloomy， and mother was so-sounhappy， you know.　　"And so we want you to please tell Miss Pollyanna that weunderstand it's all because of her. And please say we're so glad weknow her， that we thought， maybe if she knew it， it would make hera little glad that she knew us. And-and that's all，" sighed Milly，rising hurriedly to her feet. "You'll tell her？"　　"Why， of course，" murmured Miss Polly， wondering just howmuch of this remarkable discourse she could remember to tell.　　These visits of John Pendleton and Milly Snow were only thefirst of many; and always there were the messages-the messageswhich were in some ways so curious that they caused Miss Pollymore and more to puzzle over them.　　……
