and mind you manners

You are in a big city now,
It's full of people

And then asked them if they
have met her some place before

candidateship is already promissing

the davensport?

How did you ever get to davensport?

diaphragm, not your chest

Well, I guess that's all for today suzzy

and It's so true

These are the best cake

Who is your caterer?

Me

You?

You made them?

Polly, you do everything so well

I can't even roast an egg

You suppose, that's why Mr. Sydney
doesn't declare himself

because you grow stakes?

I'm sure it is

Francis

Do you mean he's never...

No, not one proposal

Oh, he calls

He's so mysterious

He never tells me where he goes

or who he sees

or what he does

He can be so charming and so infuriating

He's been wonderful to me

By the day I arrive

He drove off just by accident ofcourse

And helped Mr. Brown take
all things back to the house

He did?

well

I just know about that

But really Polly, I didn't come
here to discuss Mr.sydney with you

You might not understand
why I have to wear pink

Dear Francis you look charming

I'm so happy you invited me

It's nice to have you here James

And you too Bill

This is Polly Milton

You remember her ofcourse

Oh yes I remember

That was ourChild days wasn't it?

I think we have got a dance

You remember the ride Bill

You and Tom and the rest of the
crowed over on Prospec hill

We had such fun

THat was when you came up
from the farm? Wasn't It

Do you still live there?

Well yes

I like this new dance, don't you Bill

I'm afraid i don't particularly
care for modern music

It was delight to see you again

Now, If you are excuse me

May I

I see you have a new servant

No, that's Polly, You remember
I've told you about her

Oh, the girl who works

How amusing

What's so amusing about it
This is 1870

By time we will began thinking about
taking their place in this world

A hater girl like Polly needs a pacemaker

And what Polly need is a dress maker

I think giving singing lessons is a lot of fun

And I believe Polly gives the
finest singing lessons in the city

I always had to know she had a voice instruction
was given by the finest office support

Now that i have think of it, I'm
giving my first dance next week

I expect you all to be there

Marry Jane

Rodney

Bill

Emma, George

June

and youu too Rick

Bill, this is our dance remember

What about...

I love modern music

I'm so glad they are playing it for us

It isn't you Polly

It's the Idea of working

Polly

Would you mind helping
me with the punch please

Young lady, may we have some punch?

Of course

Polly

May i present Miss parker, My fiance

Trix, Mys cousin
Miss Milton

Oh, Tom has been telling
me how clever you are

He says you do everything

Play, sing, give vocal lessons, bake cake

No doubt you do your own washing

Trix

Pickle

Oh I'm sorry, but next dance is taken

Francis you have to ...
don't worry

Who?
Mr. sydney?

You think, I am waiting for him?

you are making a mistake

I only have 4 dances on a day

Perhaps Polly and I can have this next dance
while you are refreshing yourself Trix

We have danced 7 dances already

Oh I would love to

I am sure you would,
This is a waltz darling, not a country square dance

THen of course you wouldn't know

I beg your pardon Miss

Why Miss Polly I didn't know you for a moment
How are you

Since we are old friends, How
about a littlr walk around the squer?

Might worl for that headache

You must be chilliy
You'd better wear this

Thank you

Perhaps the orchestra is
responsible for your headache

Some of our music has become very loud

It could be this modern tunes

Oh no

as a matter of fact, I teach a very late

His songs, I'm getting

So, he goes there just by accident, ha?

What was that all about

Some times Francis puzzles me

They say we had aunt Anton began that way
she was bady

You know I was almos become
jealous of that country girl

imagine

Me, jelous of that snow cone

Polly may be from the country
side, but she is still pretty smart

Of course he is dear

smart enough to know her place

no dout that she has left
the party and went home

I'm not so sure

She is back and with Mr. sydney

Well Tom

Perhaps now, You will have
some time for your fiance

Tomas

Ok

Oh Polly, cookie?

No thanks

I'll have one later
well than you

Francis expected you earlier Mr. sydney

It's my fault Mrs. shaw

I met him at the door
and we went for a walk

Did you?

Fsncy had to go upstaris and lie down

You know she is the
delicate one in our family

She is?

I always thought she was
the most indelicate one

Molly

They must be catching

She wouldn't catch one

Father was saying she never catch anything

I have never said anything of that kind

- a cookie
- No

disassemble

to your father?

I never have

Here is the mail Monsieur

Good evening sir

You aret looking uncommonly well

thank you

- Oh Edward dear, I can see you the afternoon mail
- What?

well Here

keep the ledger
I have to look at the Manchore report

I'll be in the library

well

a letter from Polly

Not one word of an apology

an invitation to the miles play

sounds horrifying

Bravo

Bravo

- I think you are...
- Thank you Tom, I mean it

Where is Trix?

we does ever I guess

No she is not, she is getting ...

I'm getting a stopper for you

If I can find big enough

Polly

could I...

Could I ask you something?

something interesting

Yes

does cheeks have paint

I mean here

all the girls paint parts these days

They darken their lashes with bords hair pins

or take colone and lumps of sugar

and brighten up their eyes with ...

You don't say

Oh but I do

Well I'm positive you don't
use any of that humbug

You see I was right

What did I do Now?

Lovely girl

The shoulders are so expressive

too bad though

They seem to carry so many chips

If I do no one would
know but my own

I was talking about
the painting actually

It is quite a nice canvas

Yes

The canves is the best part about it

Don't act to superior

we are unsure of ourselves

You should be surest girl on the world

Those pretty eyes

cute little nose

and nice little chin

But my face really need diagraming

Your face doesn't need anything

come on now confess that girls
really do commendable work

We can do just as commendable
work on our sweing circle

Oh, that, I hardley admit that

Now you admit down on your heart

You honestly admire the girls

the praise is for Polly Milton

Really Mr. sydney? I'm not in the
least interested in any of them

and now if you are excuse me
I'll go find Tom and Molly

I still think those
shoulders are pretty

You...

I really dont feel like on

I heard terrible gossips

every sweing circle is

Just remember Ena Dave have invited you

she is chairman now, not Francis

nice to

Most important reason
why you should go isJane

if you can make it work
it means everything

I'm sorry

I've just been selfish

Of course I'll go

That's more like it

now lets see how beautiful you look

Hello Jane

Hello Polly

How do you feel

Much better

Well

Here it is

Oh Polly that dress looks beautiful on you

Thanks to your limbo fingers

I was glad I can do something for you

Your handsome is waiting Polly
You'd better hurry along

I'll tell you all about it whan I get back

It's a pretty material

It must be wonderful to be invited to a tea party

Boston's tea parties can somtumes be surprising

I'm so happy you could Polly

You know all te girls ofcourse

Yes, I do

Good afternoon

Oh Polly

This is Mrs. Perkins

She distributes our sewing line

How do you do Mrs. Perkkins

What kind of a dress
would ou start off

I think I like to make an
unbleached cotton shirts

Cotton?

Yes

I always find cotton shirts
up in front, don't youu?

Do you mean for my first choice?

Then i purchase a shomiz
that is always silk

But ...

Here you are if you
want to work with cotton

Did you know that Joe Salten drank
so much champagne at Croses Party?

They had to send him
home with two servants

- You don't mean it?
- I had ...

She didn't allow us to
dance with Tom last night

Not even me, the hostess

I don't believe you dedn't
take your chances abella

But you did with Judit last year

Girls

We are at work

I have planss

Why don't we all take work home

So it won't interfere with our gossip

no

I have tto engage extra seamstress
and the prices they charge

If you don't mind, I have an idea

- There is a girl, her name is Jane...
- Allright Trix, do you know the last thing thing that I had...

charged 50cents a day, imagine!

The servants are so expensive
and they are all alike

But if they bend our waistes
properly, we wouldnt mind

But when you cook gets a boned like
yours and wears it in front of you

We are working for charity

Personaly I think It's too much charity

We wouldn't made them poor
that have to look after themselves

But you are all wrong

There can't be enough charity

well I declared

I'm sorry but i have to differ with you

And I am so sorry nearsighted you
have to use those funny spectacles

Well

- I still say I am very sorry but ...
- But as long as you say it I won't disagree

Maybe you are just sorry for a person

You are

You were saying you had
an Idea Polly, about ...

Yes

About a girl named Jane Brant

She couldn't make enough money to live these days

She tried to do away with herself

She is a wonderful seamstress

She made this new dress

and She does need help

So

I will

If the sewing circle could
send some work to her

I second that emotion

All in favor

I

carried

Thank you

You are so naive Francis

If you have serious competitions,
Make friend with them, you see

No I don't

Polly will win your man, whatever
methods that are experient

You will keep your friends harmless

Precisely

by the way, I'm going
to new york for a week

Do you like me to do some shopping for you?

I have seen some exquisite new models at AT store
that you simply can't find anywhere

Oh Tom

Tom I have a surprise for you

Surprise?

You are taking Polly to Opra on friday night

I am? I mean
I am

Where am I going to get the money?

This is my treat

see, we have been mean to Polly andd
I think we all have to make amends

- You are available
- Oo You sound too noble

I kinda like to see Polly again

Who is going to scort you?

Nobody

I wanna have a nice friendly evening with Polly
and having a man along with esporly

Yes, having a man ...

Say, wait a minute I'm a man

huh

There is a good answer to
that, I'm think of tomorrow

This is my first Opra

I'm so excited

An excellent vintage

But it tickles my nose

Well, that isn't the vintage Polly
It's because of the bow

bubbles

What did you think of the Opra Tom?

I think Opras are ridiculous

Not if you look at It
romantically, like I do

I'm Kinda used to people telling romantic secrets
than talk about love

- That's because you have more common sense than ...
- Romance?

Thank you

You kow, I didnt
mind it seems silly

I really wanted to go back stage
and comfort that broken hearted girl

I bet Tena was a jack not to see that she adored him
In real life we don't have anything like that

Polly seems that woman are talked
to hide their real feelings

some women

but not Polly

Oh but you don't know

Oh, he is right

Imagine Polly walking about Paris with
her back head lamenting a dumb lover

No

She would let concesl the tears
down her cheeks and still smile on

Cause I just read a new novel

Or she turn a sister of charity and ...

and nurse this stupid
rests throw a smallpox

or some such contagious disease

and then die beautifully

To the music of distant violines

leaving him to suffer the agony
of remorse of love, but ...

It's too late

I read that too

No

Much too dramatic for me, I'll get over it

Being disappointed in
love make a woman pol

or an old me

There is this possibility Polly
bein either pol or an old me

If I know my Polly

Is that Francis?

I'm afraid i have to
break up this Polly thing

It's getting late and Polly still
teaches in the morning, You know

Thank you for reminding me Francis

I was forgetting

It was a delightful supper

Thank you Francis

Oh, Thanks Tom

He was the host

It was a great honor to be included

May I scort you home Miss Polly

Thank you, but i came with Tom

Frank, Good night

Good night Mr. sydney

Good night Polly

Good night

Good night

Good night

Tom?

May I have the program from the Opra?

Certainly

Nice

Good night

Tom?

My Purse

The key

Yes

May I?

Good night

Can I have the key?

Tom?

Is it the programs?

Thanks Polly

It's a letter from Trix

She'll be back tomorrow

How nice you look dear

Of course

Oh, Mrs. Miles

Yes

Mr. sydney might call

If he does, you don't know where I am

What's the matter?
You two haven't had ...

No

It's

Well, I just have decided to avoid him

Avoid him?

Because he is kind, and polite
and handsome and well off

and can do more for you than
any man you have ever met?

I know

It wouldn't be easy to turn him down

But I don't think, I should see him anymore

May be you're right

Smart girls do run away from men
and keep ride on running away from them

Until they catch you

Francis is running much faster

Perhaps

But after all

He is nice

O he is pooffly nice

Only I

I'd better hurry since you
changed the time of the lessons

I may take a walk parklet later
such a beautiful day

Alright you

Good afternoon Mr. sydney

Good afternoon

Is Miss Polly in?

No, She isn't Mr. sydney

Polly's is gone over an hour ago

Oh, That's a surprise

Perhaps I can meet her on the way back,
You know where she went?

To one of her pupils

But which pupil?

Mr. Sydney I said she is gone,
would be impossible for you to say which pupil

I think she on her way home by now

to the park

The park?

Thank you

She has a green parasol

Miss Polly!

Mr. sydney

I can't imagne we are
meeting like thid in the park

Why imagine it?
It's true

In a day like this,
everybody are in the park

There should be a law

What I meant was that ...

I hardley ever come to the park anymore

I used to, but ...

You know

always

You are a very progressive girl Polly

I wonder how moder
your thinking really is

Let's sit down just for a moment

Have you seen Francis lately?

No

Not since the Opra

You see I'm very progressive too

She is a wonderfuly nice girl

Oh yes, she quite a superior sort of person

very superior

Not as liberative as you
you and I

liberative?

You know

I'm going to be out of
town for several weeks

going to New york

Have you ever been to New york?

No, I haven't

Oh, It's a wonderful city

Travel?

That's a thing for
a progressive girl

Mr. sydney

Why don't you marry Francis?

Honestly, under that
superior mask she puts on...

There is something very real, honest and fine

And she does love you
aren't you?

Mr. sydney?

Isn't that Tom Shaw coming along?
