At last the dress, too, was finished. How pleased Polly was! She put it on her doll at once.
She said, "Now I will take her calling. I will show her to the other children. They will all wish to make dresses."
"If they do, we will cut the patterns for them," said mother. "Perhaps we can have a little sewing school. I will be the teacher, and you may be my helper. Should you like that?"
"Oh, I should, I should, mother. You do think of nice things. I will go this minute and tell the other girls."

"I wish I could go fishing," said Peter.
"You'll have to wait until summer," said Polly.
"Then I wish it were summer now."
