WHICH IS SOMEWHAT SURPRISING.
Pollyanna entered school in September.

Preliminary examinations showed that she was well advanced for a girl of her years, and she was soon a happy member of a class of girls and boys her own age.
School, in some ways, was a surprise to Pollyanna; and Pollyanna, certainly, in many ways, was very much of a surprise to school.

They were soon on the best of terms, however, and to her aunt Pollyanna confessed that going to school WAS living, after all--though she had had her doubts before.
In spite of her delight in her new work, Pollyanna did not forget her old friends.

True, she could not give them quite so much time now, of course; but she gave them what time she could.
