Rosalind and her sister enjoyed the afternoon to the utmost, if glad faces and spontaneous laughter were true signs; and Polly and Lilith were kept in a state of expectancy, wondering what their wee visitor would say next. “It must have taken God an awfully long time to make me,” she remarked over the cup-cakes. “Why?” asked Lilith. “Because I came so late. ’Most everybody got here before I did. And He took so much pains with me. Look at my curls! Oscarlucy has tried and tried to curl her hair so it will stay, and she never can. But God curled my hair so it stays. I think it must have taken Him a long time.” The little patients stared at the small girl in big-eyed perplexity. Here was reasoning beyond their thought. “Is Dr. Dudley coming pretty soon?” she asked, when the goodies had gone their way of delight. “Yes,” answered Polly. “As soon as next week?” “Perhaps so.” “As soon as to-morrow?” “It is barely possible.” “I hope he will,” she smiled. “I want to see him so it seems as if I couldn’t wait.” “So do I,” laughed Polly. “But you can walk!” Polly nodded. “I want to see him because I love him so much,” she explained. The tiny girl mused over this, and then said very softly:-- “If you love him like that, I think he will cure me. The last doctor I went to see,” she continued, “said no doctor on earth could make a child like me walk; but of course he only knew what somebody had told him, and somebody may have told him wrong. There was another doctor I liked better; he had a great deal to say about Dr. Dudley and he told grandma that if Dr. Dudley could see me he thought he might sud--sud--what was it, Oscarlucy, that he said Dr. Dudley might do?” “Suggest something,” answered her sister promptly. “Oh, yes, ‘sug-gest something,’ that was it. And if you love him so much, I am sure he will. I wish he would come to-morrow.” And on the morrow he came, announcing, to the delight of everybody, that he was going to stay a whole week. As soon as practicable Polly sent a note to Oscarlucy, which she answered promptly in person and delivered her message to Polly.
