"Nice? Well, that isn't exactly the word I should use," rejoined Miss Polly, stiffly. "However, I intend to make the best of it, of course. I am a good woman, I hope; and I know my duty."
Nancy colored hotly.
"Of course, ma'am; it was only that I thought a little girl here might -- might brighten things up for you," she faltered.
"Thank you," rejoined the lady, dryly. "I can't say, however, that I see any immediate need for that."
What does ' colored hotly' mean? Thanks!
