It rains on her wedding-day, Jimmy hasn't much money, their apartment looks out on fire-escapes, Jimmy eats up the chicken-salad she was saving for dinner, just because he happens to find it alone and unprotected in the icebox - but things of this sort are, to Pollyanna, merely added reasons for finding something to be "glad" about.
