Book Description

Excerpt from Polly and Her Friends Abroad Eleanor Maynard left her friend, Polly Brewster, in the stateroom, cutting the stems of the gorgeous American Beauty roses, and arranging them anew in the tall glass of fresh water. As she was about to close the door behind her, she turned and said: "Be sure and come up on deck, Polly, as soon as you are done with the roses." "All right, run along and I'll be with you in a jiffy," returned Polly, her thoughts engaged with the flowers. So Eleanor strolled to the upper deck and tried to find an interest with which to amuse herself until Polly joined her.
