Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

The Hidden Shadow (1x28)

Udgivelsesdato: Jul 13, 1986

In spite of it being catalyzed in no small part by Thomas and Polly's matrimonial reconciliation, it still required a half-year for Pollyanna to arrive at the point where she no longer has to remain in the sanatorium and can now spend most of her time in Beldingsville; while Jimmy and Talim devote their energies to being noisy and euphoric emissaries, Pollyanna is getting her first glimpse of how much time has gone by while she was in Boston as the train converges on Beldingsville where there is nobody at the train station to welcome her back home -- just like when she first arrived in Beldingsville a year ago. What the delighted Pollyanna finds instead is that Jimmy has organized an orchestra as the centerpiece for the whole town greeting Pollyanna upon her return to Beldingsville; after a clumsy cartwheel that is cause for concern prior to Pollyanna taking it in stride as she is helped to her feet, a joyous reunion is had by all. The festivities and Pollyanna explaining Jimmy the hill in her former hometown when the two kids release the bird they rescued obfuscate the reality of it being necessary to make weekly trips to Boston in order to keep the rehabilitation on track; as is starting to be demonstrated with Polly's mild brown-out, this requirement is a slow train to nowhere good. In spite of the endemic trepidations, Della ultimately decides to exhort that Pollyanna be bailed to her elder sister upon arriving in Beldingsville complete with a convincing case which Polly rejects out of hand; still, even with foregoing the travail of working in the clinic, the choice of whether to support her niece and husband is arrogated away from Polly when the proud aristocrat faints in her own home before even starting the train trip to Boston!!!
