"I 've got ten dollars to do what I like with; but it 's meant to get
some presents for the children." And Polly took out her purse in an
undecided way.
"You can make presents easy enough. Grandma knows all sorts of
nice contrivances. They 'll do just as well; and then you can get
your boots."
"Well; I 'll look at them," said Polly, following Fanny into the
store, feeling rather rich and important to be shopping in this
elegant manner.
"Are n't they lovely? Your foot is perfectly divine in that boot,
Polly. Get them for my party; you 'll dance like a fairy," whispered
Fan.
Polly surveyed the dainty, shining boot with the scalloped top, the
jaunty heel, and the delicate toe, thought her foot did look very
well in it, and after a little pause, said she would have them. It was
all very delightful till she got home, and was alone; then, on
looking into her purse, she saw one dollar and the list of things she
meant to get for mother and the children.
