Molly can’t wait for the train to arrive, her imagination buzzing with questions about the cousin she’s never met. She wonders if Polly will be a wild, untamed girl from the ranch or a shy city newcomer, and she’s equally eager to see Uncle Dick, the cheerful uncle whose jokes never fail to lift spirits. When the carriage finally pulls in, the sight of a bright‑haired, rosy‑cheeked girl in a neat dress instantly eases Molly’s nervousness, and a warm hug quickly turns curiosity into friendship.
The two cousins soon discover that their differences are a source of lively banter rather than conflict, with Uncle Dick’s playful teasing keeping the atmosphere light. As they begin to explore the bustling town together, the simple joys of sharing stories, discovering new sights, and learning each other’s ways promise an adventure that will shape their bond for years to come.
