Excerpt: ...day-time," said Polly, "and the pictures are beautiful then, but when it begins to be dark it's DIFFERENT." "Different! I guess that's so," said the coachman; "and now, come! We'll drive home at a lively pace." "Oh, doesn't it seem good to be safe!" cried Polly when, snugly seated in the carriage, they saw that they were on their own familiar avenue. "Yes, and we always like to be GOING somewhere, and now we're glad that we're almost home," said Rose.
