"Well, thank goodness, I think my adventures are over for the night," thought the Clown, as he was taken into Mirabell's house and the dirt brushed off his red and yellow trousers. "This has been such a day! Oh, SUCH a day!" And indeed it had been from the time he fell out of the tree into the Man's coat pocket until Jim stumbled with him and he fell into the hole.
Dick asked, as he ate the last piece of candy he had bought on his way from school, having shared some with Herbert. "Oh, a show with my Monkey in it, and your Rocking Horse, and Arnold's Tin Soldiers, and Mirabell's Lamb and Madeline's Candy Rabbit," Herbert replied. "Here, Carlo! Carlo!" called Dick. "Come and give Herbert's Monkey a ride on your back." Carlo came running up, wagging his tail.
As for the Lamb on Wheels, she was glad and happy, too, when she heard, as she did, what the sailor said. "Oh, I'm to have a home on shore!" thought the Lamb. "I am not going to be taken on an ocean voyage at all, and be made seasick. I am to have a home on shore!" And that is just what the toy Lamb had. The jolly sailor, who was Mirabell's uncle, had bought the toy for the little girl.
Rowe as she and Arthur got into their automobile. "Only the Clown's cap was torn off when they were playing circus the other day," said Arthur. "Mirabell's Lamb on Wheels was broken, too, and I guess they're both in Mr. Mugg's toy shop being fixed." "Indeed they are there," thought the Plush Bear, who could hear all that was said through the tissue paper and his box.
Then the three little girls laughed and went downstairs to play with Dorothy's Sawdust Doll and Mirabell's Lamb on Wheels. Left to himself on the window sill, the Candy Rabbit took a long breath. "That was a narrow escape I had," he said. "I was very nearly drowned and melted in the water.
"But what about your Soldier, Arnold?" asked Daddy. "Oh, I had set my Soldier Captain on the back of Mirabell's Lamb to give him a ride," explained the little boy. "I said he could," remarked Mirabell. "And when she lifted her Lamb up she lifted my Soldier up, too," added Arnold.
One after another more children came to the party, among them Mirabell and Arnold. Mirabell did not bring her Lamb on Wheels for the same reason that Dick left his Horse at home the Lamb was a little too large for a house party, though she would fit very well on the lawn. But Arnold, who was Mirabell's brother, brought something to the party.
He feared he would smother; but really he did not need much air, and he soon found he was getting all he needed. The clothes were so soft that they did not crush him, and he was not near any of Mirabell's or Arnold's play clothes he soon found that they were not badly soiled. So, after getting over his first distaste, he began rather to like the ride in the little express wagon.
"He was in de basket all done wrapped up in hankowitches." "Those were the handkerchiefs I took from my pocket and put in Mandy's basket when I met her at the gate," said Mirabell's daddy. "And so you found him, Jim!" "Yes'm I mean yes, sah! Me an' Liza Ann found him. He's a jolly good Clown; but Mammy, she wouldn't let us keep him 'cause as how she said he belonged to Mirabell or Arnold."
"Well, you be unloading the wood," said Patrick, "and I'll go see if this is Mirabell's Lamb. But I am very sure it is," Leaning his rake up against the back fence, Patrick walked up the garden path, around the "Big House," as the odd-job man had called it, and then the gardener went toward the house where Mirabell lived.
