of the stairs?"--(See page 46.)]
To my daughter Margaret,
who to her friends embodies
"Polly Pepper" in her
girlhood, I dedicate most
lovingly this book.
PREFACE.
There were so many interesting friends of the Five Little Peppers,
whose lives were only the faintest of outlines in the series ending
when Phronsie was grown up, that a volume devoted to this outer
circle has been written to meet the persistent demand.
Herein the author records many happenings that long ago Ben and Polly,
Joel and David told her. And even Phronsie whispered some of it
confidentially into the listening ear. "Tell about Rachel, please,"
she begged; and Margaret Sidney promised to write it all down some
day.
And that day seems to have arrived in which it all should be recorded
and the promise fulfilled. For the Five Little Peppers loved their
friends very dearly, and were loyal and true to them.
