As we were examining the shapeless lump of metal, she said, "It's like a little lump of silver that Miss Blomfield has hanging to her watch chain;" which determined me to have a hole made through the remains of my flat iron, and do the same.
"Papa has promised me a watch next birthday," I added.
Polly and I were very happy and merry together; but her visit came to an end at last.

Aunt Maria came to fetch her.

She had brought her down when she came, but had only stayed one night.

On this occasion she stayed from Saturday to Monday.

Aunt Maria never allowed any of the girls to travel alone, and they were never allowed to visit without her at any but relations' houses.
