Excerpt from Pollyooly: A Romance of Long Felt Wants and the Red Haired Girl Who Filled Them

The Lump shan"t go into the workhouse - ever," said the angel child, with the red hair, firmly. Then after a pause she added even more firmly, "I won"t let him."

Mrs. Brown shook her shapely head: she was the wife of a policeman. The gloom on her so round and usually so cheerful face deepened; and she said despondently, "I don"t know how you"ll manage - you bein" so young, an" work that "ard to git."

"Aunt Hannah told me never to let the Lump go into the workhouse the last afternoon I saw her at the hospital; and I promised her he never should; and he shan"t," said the angel child in the same tone of cold resolution. "I"ve got twenty-two shillings as it is."
