So it was not until after dinner and late in the afternoon that Patty was able to sit down in peace and quiet with Polly and talk over this most delightful Christmas Day.
‘Of course, Polly,’ said Patty, ‘this is the first Christmas you have ever had. You must feel like the kittens, so excited you don’t know what to do. Now I have had five Christmases. Five of them—just think! But I will tell you something, Polly Perkins. This Christmas is the very best Christmas of all.’
