POLLY sat down in despair just as Mother Pepper finished. As for Joel, he burst into a howl, and even little Davie
sobbed2 softly to himself. Phronsie alone was just as sweet as ever, for she didn’t know in the least what it was all about. While Ben, more
distressed5 on account of Polly than loss to himself and the others,
wrung6 his hands as he stood quite still, his blue eyes on Polly’s face.
“No, it wouldn’t be right for you children to go to the circus,” Mother Pepper had just said; “there is only just so much money in the stocking, and it has to be saved for the things we must have.”
She had poured out into her lap the ten-cent and five-cent pieces, and pennies, with two stray quarters, from the old black stocking that the[358] children had brought out from its resting-place in the old bureau in the bedroom, in the wild hope that she would say, “yes,”—especially since Sally Brown, the next neighbor about half a mile distant, was going with her family.
“Oh, there’s lots and lots of money,” cried Joel, sticking his brown fingers in the little pile of coins to churn them about. “Oh, Mamsie!”
And “Oh, Mamsie!” echoed little Davie, with very red cheeks. How his blue eyes shone!
“And we’ve never seen a circus,” broke in Polly,
passionately8. “Never in all this world—oh, Ben!” With that Polly flung her arms around Ben’s neck, and burst out crying.
Ben’s ruddy cheek turned quite white. “Don’t, Polly,” he said
hoarsely9, and patted her back with an unsteady hand.
Mrs. Pepper took Joel’s little brown hand in her steady one.
“She’s going to give us some money, and we’re going!” screamed Joel, in a transport, to the others. Phronsie, at this, stopped her
capering10 about the middle of the kitchen floor to come up with wondering eyes.
