In due time a message saying that Pollyanna would arrive the next
day at four o’clock arrived. Miss Polly read it, frowned, then climbed
the stairs to the attic room. She frowned yet more as she looked
about her.

The room contained nothing more than a small bed, neatly made,
two straight-backed chairs, a washbasin, a desk and a dressing table.
There were no curtains, and no pictures on the walls. All day the sun
had been pouring down upon the roof, and the little room was like an
oven. As there were no blinds, the windows had not been opened. A
big fly was buzzing angrily at one of them now.
Miss Polly killed the fly, swept it through the window, straightened a
chair, frowned again, and left the room.

“Nancy,” she said a few minutes later, at the kitchen door, “I found a
fly in Miss Pollyanna’s room. The window must have been opened at
some time. I have ordered blinds, but until they come I shall expect
you to see that the windows remain closed. My niece will arrive
tomorrow afternoon. I want you to meet her at the station. Timothy
will drive you over. The message says ‘fair hair, red checked dress and
straw hat’. That is all I know.”

“Yes; but…you…”

Miss Polly evidently read the pause correctly, for she frowned and
said crisply: “No, I shall not go. It is not necessary, I think. That is all.”
And she turned away.

Nancy thought to herself: “‘Light hair, red-checked dress and straw

hat’ – all she knows, indeed! Well, I'd be ashamed to admit that
about my only niece.”

The next afternoon, Timothy and Nancy went to the station to meet
the expected guest. Timothy was a good-natured youth, and he and
Nancy were good friends. Today, however, Nancy was too full of her
mission to be her usual talkative self. Over and over in her mind she
was saying “light hair, red checked dress, straw hat” and wondering
just what sort of child this Pollyanna was. “I hope for her sake she’s
quiet and sensible, and doesn’t drop knives or bang doors,” she
sighed to Timothy.

“Yes, imagine Miss Polly and a noisy kid!”

“Oh, Timothy, I think it was mean to send me,” said the suddenly
frightened Nancy, as she turned and hurried to a point where she
could best watch the passengers alight. It was not long before Nancy
saw a slim little girl in a straw hat above an eager, freckled little face
turning to the right and to the left, plainly searching for someone.
Nancy knew at once it was her, but for some time she couldn’t
control her shaking knees sufficiently to go to her.
