Pollyanna

Aunt Polly wanted a specialist to visit Pollyanna, but he was unable to come due to his own illness, so Pollyanna, Miss Polly, and others must wait. As they wait for answers that might help Pollyanna, Miss Polly does everything she can to please her niece, except call Dr. Chilton. Pollyanna grows pale and thin

When the Doctor tells Miss Polly that Pollyanna wont be able to walk again, Pollyanna overhears because the cat had left the door ajar. Miss Polly faints. Pollyanna tells the nurse that if she cant walk, she couldnt be glad for anything

Pollyanna finds out John Pendleton was not in love with Aunt Polly but was once in love with her mother, but lost her to Pollyannas father whom she married. Mr. Pendleton wants Pollyanna to ask Aunt Polly a question.Will she let Pollyanna come to live with him.

Pollyanna meets the man, a strange silent man always dressed in black on her way to visit the ill Mrs. Snow. Mrs. Snow challenges Pollyanna to find something to be glad about when you are sick in bed. Pollyanna is perplexed at first but then solves the problem in her own unique way.

The Man begins to talk reluctantly with Pollyanna as she sees him on her walks. She learns from Nancy that he (Mr. Pendleton) he is mysterious, and some say he has a hidden secret from his past.

Pollyanna visits Mrs. Snow again with a few surprises. She has brought all the food that Mrs. Snow might like. Mrs. Snow seemed surprised and to have nothing to complain about, but when she complains about the awful piano music next door, Pollyanna reminds her that she can be glad other folks arent sick in bed like her. Mrs. Snow is angered by this, so Pollyanna explains about the glad game and the story of crutches she once received. As Mrs. Snow closes her eyes after hearing the story, tears surprisingly fall to her cheeks. Later, Pollyanna is finally moved out of the little attic room.)

As Pollyanna is taking calfs foot jelly to Mrs. Snow, she meets a boy named Jimmy Bean whos left the Orphans Home to try to find him some folks. Pollyanna tries to convince Aunt Polly to take him. When Aunt Polly refuses, Pollyanna plans to go to the Ladies Aid meeting to find him a home.

Pollyanna tells the ladies of the Ladies Aid about Jimmy Beans need for a home, but they cannot find him one. On the way home through Pendleton Woods, she finds John Pendleton with a broken leg and must go to his home to telephone for a doctor. Dr. Chilton comes to help.

Pollyanna tries to have Miss Polly agree with her to send the jelly to Mr. Pendleton instead of Mrs. Snow. Miss Polly agrees as long as Mr. Pendleton knows it was a gift from Pollyanna, not from her (Miss Polly)

Miss Polly, a strict and unhappy old maid, tells her new house maid Nancy that her niece is coming to live with her in Vermont. She feels it is her unhappy duty to take care of her and to put her in the uncomfortable attic room.
