AFTER being unusually good, children are apt to turn short round and refresh themselves by acting¹ like Sancho. For a week after Tom's mishap², the young folks were quite angelic, so much so that grandma said she was afraid "something was going to happen to them." The dear old lady need n't have felt anxious, for such excessive virtue³ does n't last long enough to lead to translation, except with little prigs in the goody story-books; and no sooner was Tom on his legs again, when the whole party went astray, and much tribulation⁴ was the consequence.

It all began with "Polly's stupidity," as Fan said afterward⁵. Just as Polly ran down to meet Mr. Shaw one evening, and was helping⁶ him off with his coat, the bell rang, and a fine bouquet⁷ of hothouse flowers was left in Polly's hands, for she never could learn city ways, and opened the door herself.

"Hey! what's this? My little Polly is beginning early, after all," said Mr. Shaw, laughing, as he watched the girl's face dimple and flush, as she smelt⁸ the lovely nosegay, and glanced at a note half hidden in the heliotrope⁹.

Now, if Polly had n't been "stupid," as Fan said, she would have had her wits about her, and let it pass; but, you see, Polly was an honest little soul and it never occurred to her that there was any need of concealment¹⁰, so she answered in her straightforward¹¹ way, "Oh, they ain't for me, sir; they are for Fan; from Mr. Frank, I guess. She 'll be so pleased."
