Chilton--truly I would!" A distressed color suffused Miss Polly's face.

For a moment she did not speak at all; then she said gently--though yet with a touch of her old stern decisiveness: "But I do mind, Pollyanna.

I mind very much.

I would do anything--almost anything for you, my dear; but I--for reasons which I do not care to speak of now, I don't wish Dr.Chilton called in on--on this case.

And believe me, he can NOT know so much about--about your trouble, as this great doctor does, who will come from New York to-morrow." Pollyanna still looked unconvinced.
"But, Aunt Polly, if you LOVED Dr.Chilton--" "WHAT, Pollyanna ?" Aunt Polly's voice was very sharp now.
