Vingué la tia Polly; i Tom i Sid i Maria segueren amb ella. Tom fou deixat en el passadís perque estigués tan lluny de la finestra oberta i les enciseres escenes estiuenques del defora com fos possible.
Aunt Polly came, and Tom and Sid and Mary sat with her--Tom being placed next the aisle, in order that he might be as far away from the open window and the seductive outside summer scenes as possible.
