When

you

've

finished

your

morning

work

,

Nancy

,

"

Miss

Polly

was

saying

now

,

"

you

may

clear

the

little

room

at

the

head

of

the

stairs

in

the

attic

,

and

make

up

the

cot

bed

.

Sweep

the

room

and

clean

it

,

of

course

,

after

you

clear

out

the

trunks

and

boxes

.

"

12

"

Yes

,

ma'am

.

And

where

shall

I

put

the

things

,

please

,

that

I

take

out

?

"

13

"

In

the

front

attic

.

"

Miss

Polly

hesitated

,

then

went

on

:

"

I

suppose

I

may

as

well

tell

you

now

,

Nancy

.

My

niece

,

Miss

Pollyanna

Whittier

,

is

coming

to

live

with

me

.

She

is

eleven

years

old

,

and

will

sleep

in

that

room

.

A

little

girl

--

coming

here

,

Miss

Harrington

?

Oh

,

wo

n't

that

be

nice

!

"

cried

Nancy

,

thinking

of

the

sunshine

her

own

little

sisters

made

in

the

home

at

"

The

Corners

.

"

15

"

Nice

?

Well

,

that

is

n't

exactly

the

word

I

should

use

,

"

rejoined

Miss

Polly

,

stiffly

.

"

However

,

I

intend

to

make

the

best

of

it

,

of

course

.

I

am

a

good

woman

,

I

hope

;

and

I

know

my

duty

.

"

Nancy

colored

hotly

.

16

"

Of

course

,

ma'am

;

it

was

only

that

I

thought

a

little

girl

here

might

--

might

brighten

things

up

for

you

,

"

she

faltered

.

17

"

Thank

you

,

"

rejoined

the

lady

,

dryly

.

"

I

ca

n't

say

,

however

,

that

I

see

any

immediate

need

for

that

.

"

"

But

,

of

course

,

you

--

you

'd

want

her

,

your

sister

's

child

,

"

ventured

Nancy

,

vaguely

feeling

that

somehow

she

must

prepare

a

welcome

for

this

lonely

little

stranger

.

19

Miss

Polly

lifted

her

chin

haughtily

.

20

"

Well

,

really

,

Nancy

,

just

because

I

happened

to

have

a

sister

who

was

silly

enough

to

marry

and

bring

unnecessary

children

into

a

world

that

was

already

quite

full

enough

,

I

ca

n't

see

how

I

should

particularly

WANT

to

have

the

care

of

them

myself

.

However

,

as

I

said

before

,

I

hope

I

know

my

duty

.

See

that

you

clean

the

corners

,

Nancy

,

"

she

finished

sharply

,

as

she

left

the

room

.
