Pollyanna Page #3

Miss Polly and the family didn't think he was

the right person for the likes of your mother.

Father was never very good with money.

He always said we should pay

with flowers and butterflies instead of coins.

Oh, aye? How would that work, then?

First, Father said everyone should have

enough garden to grow their own flowers,

and then there would be more flowers

to attracct butterflies.

Oh, right.

So, the fuel is supplied by the carburettor

to the compression chamber here

at the top of the cylinder block

Now, this is when the plugs

I was talking about come into play.

Now it gets even more interesting.

The spark, whi...

The spark

The spark, which is created by this fellow here...

I think something's burning.

(Sighs)

(Gasps)

(Owl hoots)

(Dog barks)

(Night birds call)

TlM:
Here she is. I've found her.

Evening.

Aunt Polly, you're letting the flies in.

Absolutely extraordinary behaviour.

For the rest of the night, Pollyanna,

you are to sleep in my bed with me,

where I know where you are.

With you?

Oh, Aunt Polly, how perfecctly lovely of you!

- Thank you.

- No, this is a punishment.

- No, it isn't.

- Yes, it is.

- No, it really isn't.

- (n exasperation) Oh!

Nancy?

Just a bit of oil.

Good afternoon.

(Cat meows)

I hope you're not expecting to keep that

How do you do? I'm from Miss Polly Harrington,

and I'd like to see Mrs Snow, please.

Good luck

No, over there, in the bed.

Hello. My name's...

(Groans)

I'm sorry. It's a little dark

I'm not well. I'll have it how I like.

My name's Pollyanna.

Aunt Polly says she hopes you're comfortable.

She sent you some calf's foot jelly,

which is supposed to be good for sick people.

I doon't knoow why

Jelly

(Tuts)

I'd rather have lamb broth, but never mind.

Yes, they said you're the kind of person

who always wants the thing they're not given.

What did you say?

I'm sorry you're not well.

Do you know how many winks of sleep

I got last night?

Three?

None.

I didn't sleep a wink.

You are so lucky.

What?

I always think we lose so much time sleeping

when we might be doing things.

(Sighs in exasperation)

Open the curtains. I want to see you.

Oh dear

Now you can see my freckles.

I love your black hair.

I would've been so glad to have had black hair

You wouldn't be glad of anything

if you had to lie in bed all day like I do.

Well, there's always something to be glad about.

Really?

What should I be glad about?

Uh...

This'll be a hard one.

Hm.

I have to go now.

May I think about that, and tell you next week?.

I've had such a lovely time

She let you open the curtain?!

Why not, Milly? I don't have to stay in the dark

just because I'm poorly, do l?
