Excerpt from Pollyanna
Miss Polly Harrington entered her kitchen a little hurriedly this June morning. Miss Polly did not usually make hurried movements; she specially prided herself on her repose of manner. But to-day she was hurrying - actually hurrying.
Nancy, washing dishes at the sink, looked up in surprise. Nancy had been working in Miss Polly"s kitchen only two months, but already she knew that her mistress did not usually hurry.
"Nancy!"
"Yes, ma"am." Nancy answered cheerfully, but she still continued wiping the pitcher in her hand.
"Nancy," -Miss Polly"s voice was very stern now - "when I"m talking to you, I wish you to stop your work and listen to what I have to say."
Nancy flushed miserably.
