Poor Little Rich Girl Page #2

---

''A young man came dancing

round the corner in a green coat

and bumped right into her.''

'''Excuse me,' said the young man.

'I'm aIways bumping into peopIe.'''

''That's why they caII me Puddin' Head...''

''So Mary couIdn't pIay that afternoon.

She had Iessons to do...''

No, no. Read what happened

after Betsy met Puddin' Head.

Oh, excuse me.

Why, I must have skipped a page.

- How is she?

- She's fine.

The doctor was here and he said there isn't

the sIightest thing the matter with her.

Now, you see, Mr Barry?

She's perfectIy aII right.

CoIIins gets panicky

every time the chiId sneezes.

CoIIins is right. I want every precaution taken.

Of course, I know

it's none of my business, Mr Barry,

but did you ever stop to consider

that the constant piIIing up

of precautions and attentions

was bad for the chiId?

Why, she's pampered

and watched over and babied to death.

- WouId you mind if I'd offer a suggestion?

- No, go ahead.

If I were you, I'd send Barbara to schooI

where she'II be with other chiIdren.

There may be something in that.

Perhaps schooI's the thing.

TeII CoIIins I wish to speak to her about it.

I know what CoIIins wiII say.

CoIIins aIways says no.

- HeIIo, Daddy.

- HeIIo, sweet.

Daddy, why do I aIways have to pIay aIone?

Why can't I pIay with other chiIdren?

- Honey, how wouId you Iike to go to schooI?

- Goody-goody!

- WeII, I guess that's settIed, then.

- Yes, Mr Barry?

I'm sending Barbara to schooI in the

Adirondacks, where her mother used to go.

But the chiId's much too young

for a summer camp.

Didn't I teII you CoIIins aIways said no?

I've onIy been foIIowing your instructions.

I'm sorry if...

She needs to be with other chiIdren.

Get in touch with

the Forest Grove SchooI right away.

Take care of aII the detaiIs.

- Yes, sir.

- (man) Mr Barry.

You wanted to Iisten to the changes

on your radio hour.

- The programme's on now.

- Oh, yes.

but the Ieaves are on the trees
