weren't ever glad over anything!"

"PollyANna!" gasped the lady; but Pollyanna was gone, and only
the distant bang of the attic-stairway door answered for her.
Pollyanna had gone to help Nancy bring down "her things."

Miss Polly, in the sitting room, felt vaguely disturbed;--but
then, of course she HAD been glad--over some things!



CHAPTER XI. INTRODUCING JIMMY

August came. August brought several surprises and some
changes--none of which, however, were really a surprise to Nancy.
Nancy, since Pollyanna's arrival, had come to look for surprises
and changes.

First there was the kitten.

Pollyanna found the kitten mewing pitifully some distance down
the road. When systematic questioning of the neighbors failed to
find any one who claimed it, Pollyanna brought it home at once,
as a matter of course.

"And I was glad I didn't find any one who owned it, too," she
told her aunt in happy confidence; " 'cause I wanted to bring it
home all the time. I love kitties. I knew you'd be glad to let it
live here."
