Pollyanna Grows Up (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from Pollyanna Grows Up

Why, how extraordinary! Frowned Mrs. Carew, not quite comprehending. But, I'm sure I don't see any game to that.

When she was a tiny girl She wanted a doll, and confidently expected it in the next barrel; but there turned out to be noth ing but a pair Of little crutches.
