And he's got a ticket on his back to say 'Blind,' and 'Taught at the Blind School.' And as I passed he was reading quite loud.

And I heard him say, 'Now Barabbas was a robber.' Oh, he _is_ such a poor man! And you know, Regie, he _must_ be good, for _we_ don't sit reading our Bibles all day long." I at once gave my consent to the box being emptied in favour of this very poor and very pious man; and at the first opportunity Polly took the money to her _protege_.
"He was so much pleased!" she reported on her return.

"He seemed quite surprised to get so much.

And he said, 'GOD bless you, miss!' I wish you'd been there, Regie.

I said, 'It's not all from me.' He _was_ so much pleased!" "How did he know you were a _miss_, I wonder ?" said I.
"I suppose it was my voice," said Polly, after a pause.
As soon as I could go out, I went to see the blind man.
