She at once sings, one doesn't know why, 'Oh, dear, what can the matter be, and she takes out of her poor little carpet-bag a rag-doll, and puts it to sleep with 'By low, baby, and the old codger puts the other dolls to sleep, nodding his head, and kicking his foot out in time, and he ends by offering that poor thing a home with him.
Gay's sun-bonnet trailed behind her, every hair on her head curled separately, and she held her rag-doll upside down with entire absence of decorum. Timothy's paleness, whatever the cause, had disappeared for the moment, and his eyes shone like stars.
And a little later, while rocking her old rag-doll, "mamma," said she, "I won't ever swing on the front-gate again ever ever ever in my life." My real name was so short that I was called Nancy, "for long." I was the fourth child in a very large family. The three elder were a brother and two sisters.
The Child grieved sorely and truly, a thing inexplicable to the Millionaire, to whom the rag-doll market was about as interesting as Bay State Gas; and to the Lady, the Child's mother, who was all form that is, nearly all, as you shall see. The Child cried inconsolably, and grew hollow-eyed, knock-kneed, spindling, and corykilverty in many other respects.
And well that she had no eyes save unseeing circles of black; for the faces of Fuzzy and the Scotch terrier were those of brothers, and the heart of no rag-doll could withstand twice to become the prey of such fearsome monsters.

Bittridge was already seated beside Ellen on the sofa, holding her hand, and trying to keep her mobile, inattentive eyes upon Ellen's face. She was a little woman, youthfully dressed, but not dressed youthfully enough for the dry, yellow hair which curled tightly in small rings on her skull, like the wig of a rag-doll.
Reproved by Henrietta, he hastened back to his babykins, with which he rushed to a place of safety beneath her chair. There she heard him giving vent to his emotions in subdued whining and growling and in much worrying and tearing of the rag-doll.
Oh, yes, perhaps; though I am not so sure that the submissive nature has not been too much glorified in theory. Nobody pays much attention to it in practice, by the way." Miss Du Prel laughed. "What an observant young woman you are." "Renunciation is always preached to girls, you know," said Hadria "preached to them when as yet they have nothing more than a rattle and a rag-doll to renounce.
And who had gone to her rest holding to her thin breast a rag-doll that was kin to her by bornation, Loujaney being poor folks herself and knowing prezactly how't was. Over the heads of loved and sheltered children the Baptist brethren looked at each other. Of course, it wasn't their fault any more than anybody else's.
