"Please tell me," and
the Sawdust Doll did. Then the two toys had to stop talking together as
Mirabell, Arnold, Dorothy and Dick came into the kitchen.
"Oh, now my Lamb is all nice again!" cried Mirabell, when she saw her
toy. "Oh, I am so glad."
"So am I," said Dorothy.
For many days Mirabell had jolly good times with her Lamb on Wheels.
Sometimes the Lamb was taken to Dorothy's house, and then there was a
chance for the woolly toy to talk to the Sawdust Doll and the White
Rocking Horse.
And one day the Lamb had another strange adventure.
Mirabell had been out in the street near Dorothy's house drawing her
Lamb up and down by means of a string. And Mirabell kept watch to see
that Carlo did not run along and get tangled in the string. The little
girl also made sure that no sidewalk coal holes were open. She did not
want the Lamb to fall into another one.
"Oh, Mirabell, come over here a minute!" called Dorothy to her friend.
"Mother got me a new trunk for my Sawdust Doll's things."
"Oh, I want to see it!" cried Mirabell, and she was in such a hurry that
she let go of the string by which she had been by herself on the
sidewalk for a little way, and finally rolled out toward the gutter.
