"

Certainly

,

Mrs.

Benton

;

I

shall

be

very

glad

to

.

"

Still

the

little

woman

hesitated

;

then

she

spoke

.

"

Will

you

tell

her

,

please

,

that

--

that

I

've

put

on

THIS

,

"

she

said

,

just

touching

the

blue

bow

at

her

throat

.

Then

,

at

Miss

Polly

's

ill-concealed

look

of

surprise

,

she

added

:

"

The

little

girl

has

been

trying

for

so

long

to

make

me

wear

--

some

color

,

that

I

thought

she

'd

be

--

glad

to

know

I

'd

begun

.

She

said

that

Freddy

would

be

so

glad

to

see

it

,

if

I

would

.

You

know

Freddy

's

ALL

I

have

now

.

The

others

have

all

--

"

Mrs.

Benton

shook

her

head

and

turned

away

.

"

If

you

'll

just

tell

Pollyanna

--

SHE

'LL

understand

.

"

And

the

door

closed

after

her

.

A

little

later

,

that

same

day

,

there

was

the

other

widow

--

at

least

,

she

wore

widow

's

garments

.

Miss

Polly

did

not

know

her

at

all

.

She

wondered

vaguely

how

Pollyanna

could

have

known

her

.

The

lady

gave

her

name

as

"

Mrs.

Tarbell

.

"

"

I

'm

a

stranger

to

you

,

of

course

,

"

she

began

at

once

.

"

But

I

'm

not

a

stranger

to

your

little

niece

,

Pollyanna

.

I

've

been

at

the

hotel

all

summer

,

and

every

day

I

've

had

to

take

long

walks

for

my

health

.

It

was

on

these

walks

that

I

've

met

your

niece

--

she

's

such

a

dear

little

girl

!

I

wish

I

could

make

you

understand

what

she

's

been

to

me

.

I

was

very

sad

when

I

came

up

here

;

and

her

bright

face

and

cheery

ways

reminded

me

of

--

my

own

little

girl

that

I

lost

years

ago

.

I

was

so

shocked

to

hear

of

the

accident

;

and

then

when

I

learned

that

the

poor

child

would

never

walk

again

,

and

that

she

was

so

unhappy

because

she

could

n't

be

glad

any

longer

--

the

dear

child

!

--

I

just

had

to

come

to

you

.

"

"

You

are

very

kind

,

"

murmured

Miss

Polly

.

"

But

it

is

you

who

are

to

be

kind

,

"

demurred

the

other

.

"

I

--

I

want

you

to

give

her

a

message

from

me

.

Will

you

?

"

"

Certainly

.

"

"

Will

you

just

tell

her

,

then

,

that

Mrs.

Tarbell

is

glad

now

.

Yes

,

I

know

it

sounds

odd

,

and

you

do

n't

understand

.

But

--

if

you

'll

pardon

me

I

'd

rather

not

explain

.

"

Sad

lines

came

to

the

lady

's

mouth

,

and

the

smile

left

her

eyes

.

"

Your

niece

will

know

just

what

I

mean

;

and

I

felt

that

I

must

tell

--

her

.

Thank

you

;

and

pardon

me

,

please

,

for

any

seeming

rudeness

in

my

call

,

"

she

begged

,

as

she

took

her

leave

.
