Explore "Pollyanna" by Eleanor H. Porter on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Pollyanna did not go to school "tomorrow," nor the "day after tomorrow. " Pollyanna, however, did not realize this, except momentarily when a brief period of full consciousness sent insistent questions to her lips. Pollyanna did not realize anything, in fact, very clearly until a week had passed; then the fever subsided, the pain lessened somewhat, and her mind awoke to full consciousness. She had then to be told all over again what had occurred.
"And so it's hurt that I am, and not sick," she sighed at last. "Well, I'm glad of that."
