It wasthe 27th of September and the opening day of school. The girls who hadalready arrived were walking arm in arm about the grounds, in the broadassembly hall, and in the corridors, talking, laughing and discussingthe summer vacation, plans for the winter, the new girls, and a varietyof subjects with fine impartiality.
In the Senior reception room Mrs. Baird, principal of the school, and anumber of the faculty were receiving and assuring the mothers andguardians of the girls. Outside the carriages from the train were winding up the steep hillfrom the station. The girls were waving and calling hellos as theypassed one another, and on the broad piazza there was a quantity of suitcases, and a good deal of kissing.
Polly Pendleton, seated beside her uncle in one of the last carriages,was just the least little bit frightened. She had never seen quite somany girls nor heard quite so much laughing and talking in all herrather uneventful life. Polly's real name was Marianna, but her heavy dark hair framed a face sobright and full of fun, and her big brown eyes had so much impishness intheir depth, that to have called her by anything so long and dignifiedseemed absurd, and so she had been Polly all her life.
Polly's Senior Year At Boarding School
Until two months before this story opens she had lived her thirteenyears in an old fashioned New England town with her aunt, HannahPendleton, her father's eldest sister, and quite as severe as her name. It had been a very unexciting existence--school every morning with thevillage minister, and a patchwork "stint" every afternoon under thedirection of Aunt Hannah. Polly was beginning to think every day was going to be just like everyother, when suddenly Aunt Hannah died and she came to New York to livewith Uncle Roddy.
It had been a great change to leave the old house andthe village, but under Uncle Roddy's jolly companionship she soon ceasedto miss any part of her old life. After what seemed an age, the carriage finally reached the top of thehill, and Polly, holding tight to her uncle's arm, was shown into thereception-room. She was finding it harder every minute to keep down theunaccountable lump that had risen in her throat, when Mrs. Baird,catching sight of them, held out a welcoming hand. Mydear," she added, putting her hand on Polly's shoulder, "I hope you aregoing to be very happy and contented with us.
Baird had made that same remarkthat day, but Polly, looking into her kindly blue eyes, felt, as hadevery other new girl at Seddon Hall, the complete understanding andsympathy of the older woman, and felt, too, without knowing why, thatMrs. Baird had had her first day at boarding-school. Louise Preston, one of the Seniors, a slender girl of seventeen, withheaps of taffy-colored hair, big blue eyes, and the sweetest andjolliest smile, caught her principal's beckoning nod, and comingforward, was presented. Baird suggested that she take Polly andshow her to her room. Farwell, had come up on visits when they could.
Bob, Lois' big brother, had come, too, but less frequently of late. He was at college now and working very hard. They had made new friends, but, what is more important, they had kept their old ones. This well ordered way of living, however, had to change. Time had gone on slowly, but steadily and now, suddenly, they were Seniors. Mooney knows about the relationship, but instead of sending Polly back to work in the city, she monitors its developments.
First she speaks awkwardly with Polly, then arranges to speak with Mr. Doran on a Sunday morning. Doran to offer his hand in marriage.

Waiting for the time to pass, Mrs. Mooney figures the odds are in her favor, considering that Mr. Doran, who has worked for a wine merchant for thirteen years and garnered much respect, will choose the option that least harms his career.
Meanwhile, Mr. Doran anguishes over the impending meeting with Mrs. As he clumsily grooms himself for the appointment, he reviews the difficult confession to his priest that he made on Saturday evening, in which he was harshly reproved for his romantic affair. He knows he can either marry Polly or run away, the latter an option that would ruin his sound reputation. Convincing himself that he has been duped, Mr.
