CHAPTER VIII - AT THE SHORE
In the sun‑dappled garden of Sherwood Hall, two lively girls, Vivian and Leslie, whisk their imaginations into a world of enchanted castles and hidden princesses. Their chatter turns the ordinary avenue into a grand hallway, where every red‑tiled roof and bright window promises a new adventure. When Princess Polly appears at her window, the trio’s excitement turns the moment into a miniature celebration, complete with the arrival of the postman and the promise of letters from far‑off friends.
The story gently unfolds as Polly opens a treasured envelope from Rose, a former playmate now living with her great‑aunt in a distant house. Through Rose’s heartfelt words, the girls glimpse a quiet, lonely world where a piano’s notes echo in empty rooms and a stern portrait watches over every move. Their shared curiosity and affection bridge the miles, hinting at the simple, enduring magic of childhood friendship.
