In the end, the unhappy manuscript, after many refusals, was converted into cock-boats, hats, and paper dollies for little Dot; and its various intermediate reverses need enter no further into the main thread of this history.
"Not at all, papa," echoed Lulu. "Only just a little bit, papa," Grace said with cheerful look and tone. "We have had such a nice day." "Giving pleasure to others," he remarked, patting the rosy cheek resting against his shoulder; "there is nothing more enjoyable. The little girls were very glad to get your dollies." "Yes, sir; I'm so glad I gave them." The carriage stopped.
I love the new paper dollies Aunt Amy painted for me best of any thing; must I burn them up?" cried Daisy, who never thought of denying the unseen tyrant any thing it demanded. "Every one. I shall burn my boat, my best scrapbook, and all my soldiers," said Demi firmly. "Well, I will; but it's too bad of Kitty-mouse to want our very nicest things," sighed Daisy.
We much preferred to sit on the sunken curbstones, in the shade of the broad-leaved burdocks, and shape their spiny balls into chairs and cradles and sofas for our dollies, or to "play school" on the doorsteps, or to climb over the wall, and to feel the freedom of the hill. We were a neighborhood of large families, and most of us enjoyed the privilege of "a little wholesome neglect."
"And there are so many things to see and do at Grandma Bell's house," added Vi. "I won't throw any more dollies down the well," promised Margy, who remembered her little trick. "That's good!" laughed Mother Bunker. "But, nice as it is, we can't stay much longer. We are going somewhere else." "Where?" asked Russ eagerly.
"He's going to call the men off at ten o'clock if we don't put in a runway and dollies on the distributing floor." Bannon looked at his watch. "Is that all he wants?" Max, in his excitement, did not catch the sarcasm in the question. "That's all he said, but it's enough. We can't do it." Bannon closed his watch with a snap. "No," he said, "and we won't throw away any good time trying.
She wanted to show her the hats and cloaks she had made out of some tiny bits for both the dollies the cloaks, that is to say, for the hats were crochet-work, crocheted in pink cotton. Celestina's little fingers were very clever at crochet. 'Oh, mother, mother, she said half aloud, 'do come.
There was such a mixture of play and earnestness in the child's eyes, that auntie had to turn away her face before she could answer seriously. "Why, little girls can think and feel you know; but with dollies it is different. Now, good night, pet; you won't have beautiful dreams, if you talk any more." Flyaway awoke singing, and sprang up in bed, saying,
I haven't played with dollies for years and years. No; I want to fix up my room pretty, like Jill's. I'll do it all myself, and only want a few things, for I don't expect it to look as nice as hers." Indignation gave Merry courage to state her wishes boldly, though she knew the boys would laugh. They did, and her mother said in a tone of surprise, "Why, child, what more can you want?
Even as they had played a wedding, they would play a funeral. Only, they played a wedding but that once, while they played funerals many, many, times. Sometimes it would be a doll's funeral when the chief figure in the solemn rites would be taken from the grave, after it was all over, and would be rocked to sleep with the other dollies, none the worse, apparently, for the sad experience.
