Book Description
Excerpt from Polly Sees the World at War IT was a warm Spring day in late April, a sun shiny, comforting hopeful sort of day that half apologized for its sister days of wind and rain and promised the real beginning of Spring. In the city the people on the sidewalks hummed little snatches of song to themselves as they went about their work and remembered all the pleasant things that they had ever wanted to do. - Old plans long put away as impossible were brought out and eagerly reconsidered, for in the Spring every thing is possible. The sparrows Spluttered and splashed in the mud-puddles, and the dogs barked and chased them, frisky and joyous in spite of their repeated failures to catch them. All the world loves Spring, for it is the time of year when the spirit of adventure is strongest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xix good-by The next week, the Farwells and Polly bade farewell to Pixie's Haunt. It was a sad parting. The war had done much to bring them all near together in the common bond of sympathy, and work, and though no one mentioned it, they all felt that if things turned out as they hoped, Cyril and Lois would bind them still closer. Even Polly was a little depressed when the hour of actual leaving arrived. "I don't see why it didn't rain," she said crossly to Gerald. "It would have made going so much easier. But do look at this wasteful sunshine." They were in the automobile waiting in the court for the others. Gerald had come down purposely to run them up to London, where they would take the train to Liverpool. "What do you want it to rain for?

"Twenty of them. Think of it, and some of them without hands." "Don't! I can't bear even to hear about it," Polly pleaded. "They'll keep you busy taking care of them, won't they?"
