It takes a woman's hand and heart, or a child's presence to make a home," she said.
"Eh ?" The doctor wheeled about abruptly.
"Mr.Pendleton told me," nodded Pollyanna, again; "about the woman's hand and heart, or the child's presence, you know.

Why don't you get a woman's hand and heart, Dr.Chilton?
Or maybe you'd take Jimmy Bean--if Mr.Pendleton doesn't want him." Dr.Chilton laughed a little constrainedly.
"So Mr.Pendleton says it takes a woman's hand and heart to make a home, does he ?" he asked evasively.
"Yes.

He says his is just a house, too.

Why don't you, Dr.Chilton ?" "Why don't I--what ?" The doctor had turned back to his desk.
"Get a woman's hand and heart.

Oh--and I forgot." Pollyanna's face showed suddenly a painful color.
