"Polly, I wish you 'd let me call you Marie," said Fanny one day, as they were shopping together. ¶ "You may call me Mary, if you like; but I won't have any ie put on to my name. I'm Polly at home and I'm fond of being called so; but Marie is Frenchified and silly." ¶ "I spell my own name with an ie, and so do all the girls." ¶ "And what a jumble of Netties, Nellies, Hatties, and Sallies there is. How 'Pollie' would look spelt so!"
