But the nerves Of her aunt. Miss Polly
Observation-Disclosures certainly gets on
those. MISC Polly Is the village aristo-
crat, tho very trees In whose garden, gc-
cording to her maid. Nancy, wcro tho
ones Adam IND Eve sat under. That
MISS Polly has proper feeling Is proved
by tho fact that she has not spoken for
twenty years TO Or. Chiffon, who was
her lover when she was young and from
whom ehe was parted by n stern father.
That was when her sister Charity.
P~oliydNnd's mother. was engaged to
John Pendieton and was torn away. also
by the stern father, and sent away and
welded against her Will TO IA poor mis-
sionary.
OF course--not 10 lacerate The feelings
Of the reader too much--Mtss Polly
really loved tho doctor all tho time. and
wore his picture In a lockct. It IL
Pollydnna who finds this out. and Is the
means Of bringing them together, but
Poiiydrnd does everything In this play.
She even renetrates by the secret pas
sage that John Pendleton 'unhelled from
his castle to Chdrity's home. when they
were lovers and he meant TO carry her
away from her father--yes. Poliydnnd
p%enetrates by this passage to, the
darkencd room In which John has led a
hermit's life all those twenty wears. and
brings tho sunshine into his lie.
There Is a really charming scene In
the second act. In he herintt's library.
when Poiiyannd tells tho king as hei
childish imagination has made John
Pendieton, the fairy story her mother
told her every night when she went to
bed. 1t Is the story Of ChdritD's love for
John. and thus by her unknowing ibid
ish lips he Is made TO know tina the
doubt which has always troubled him.
the suspicion that Charity was not un-
willing TO DO parted from him. was un-
founded.
II would be n perfect scene II one
didn't have TO feel "A bit sorry for Polly
amna's missionary father. After all, he
was Chdrity's husband and ~Poliydnnd's
father, the father who taught her that
she must always "be glad" and he must
have had q hard time In that far on
missionary station. He was. we have Il
from P%oiIydmad's wi lips. 80 tired that
he was glad to die. because even death
would be an Improvement" And so II
does seem a bit hard TO have father so
left out Of the love story about her "
mother and John Pendiston that Polly
anne tells In the guise Of a fairy tale.
