Do you want us to take this to Phronsie? she asked.
gpt
Jasper, won't she be delighted?
human
Land, no! cried Candace, recovering the doll in alarm;
gpt
I'd never sleep a week o' nights ef I didn't put dat yere doll into dat bressed child's arms.
human
Then I'll tell Phronsie to come over to-morrow, said Polly.
gpt
Shall I, Candace?
human
Yes, said Candace,
gpt
All right, said Jasper.
human
Just imagine Phronsie's eyes when she sees that production. Candace, you've surpassed yourself.
gpt
You go 'long! exclaimed Candace, in delight, and bestowing a gentle pat of deprecation on his shoulder,
human
Jasper, we'll stop at Helen's now, said Polly as the two hurried by the tall iron fence, that, lined with its thick hedge, shut out the Fargo estate from vulgar eyes,
gpt
All right,
human
Is Phronsie ready to come home? asked Polly of the maid.
gpt
Tell her to hurry and get her things on; we'll wait here. Oh, Jasper! turning to him,
human
Miss Mary, said the maid, interrupting,
gpt
Oh! she's upstairs in the nursery, playing with Helen, I suppose. Please ask her to hurry, Hannah.
human
No, she isn't, Miss Mary, said Hannah.
gpt
I've been sweeping the nursery this morning; just got through.
human
Well, she's with Helen somewhere,
gpt
Yes; find Helen, and you have the two, broke in Jasper.
human
Just have the goodness, Hannah, to produce Helen.
gpt
Miss Helen isn't home, said Hannah.
human
She went to Greenpoint yesterday with Mrs. Fargo to spend Sunday.
gpt
Why, exclaimed Polly in bewilderment,
human
Mamsie said she told Phronsie right after breakfast that she could come over here.
gpt
She hasn't been here, said the maid positively.
human
I know for certain sure, Miss Mary. Has she, Jane?
gpt
No, said Jane.
human
She hasn't been here for ever so many days.
gpt
Phronsie played around outside probably, said Jasper quickly;
human
Oh, Jasper! do you suppose she will? cried Polly, unable to stifle an undefinable dread. She was running now on frightened feet, Jasper having hard work to keep up with her, and the two dashed through the little gate in the hedge where Phronsie was accustomed to let herself through on the only walk she was ever allowed to take alone, and into the house where Polly cried to the first person she met,
gpt
Where's Phronsie? to be met with what she dreaded,
human
Gone over to Helen Fargo's.
