Polly tossed the vine upon the grass, where Sir Mortimer promptly snatched it, and rolling over, became entangled in it.

“You’ll want to take him to school with you,” said Leslie, with a laugh, “but Mortimer will have to stay at home.”

“They won’t let even Princess Polly bring a cat to school,” said Harry, “tho’ I would if I was the teacher.”

“Then I wish you were the teacher, Harry,” said Polly, “but I know I shall like school here at Avondale, and I shall have fine times, even if Sir Mortimer has to stay at home.”

“Gwen Harcourt will be funny in whatever class they place her,” said Harry, “because she says she doesn’t want to go to school, and she means to act so that the teacher’ll be glad to send her home!”

“And Rob Lindsey says there’s ever so many new pupils coming this year, so the classes will be full, and there’ll be just crowds of children to play with,” declared Leslie.

Oh, there were merry days in store for the little playmates, and those who have learned to love Princess Polly, and would like to meet her again, to know what happened to Rose, and of the gay times at school, and at Sherwood Hall, may read of all this in

“Princess Polly at school”
