It seems that your roly-poly friend forgot to notify him. I say, Alix, what a wonderful lot of pre-historic junk there is in that old stable-yard. Webster took me around there and showed me the stuff. Tell me something about the place."
"You'll do nothing of the sort," shouted the boys, grabbing their roly-poly president and rushing him back and forth to wake him up again. "No Pony Rider is allowed to sleep after sun-up."
Then on their way to school Hal and Mab stopped at the Thompson home to find out what had happened. "Roly-Poly was very good, all the while he was here," said Mrs. Thompson, "though at first he was lonesome for you. He would have run back to your house if I had let him out, but I knew he might make trouble in your garden so I kept him here.
At the Doll Shop there were rows and rows of dolls, and swarms and swarms of little girls looking at them. Take saw a roly-poly baby doll, with a funny tuft of black hair on his head. "This is the one I want, if you please," she said to the shopkeeper. She gave him her money. He gave her the doll. "Glory," she said over her shoulder, "this is your new little brother!"
"The champion Roly-Poly of the Pacific," some one called. "The Saluria's Little Sunbeam," suggested another. Andy smiled blandly, and kissed his fingertips.

"You never want to do anything I want to play?" complained Hal. "Can't she come with me after Roly-Poly, Mother?" "Well, I don't know. Can't you both play something here until Daddy comes home? Why don't you play bean-bag?" "We did, but Hal always throws 'em over my head and I can't reach," Mab said. "She throws crooked," complained Hal. "Oh, my dears!
"Then I'm sure this is our Roly-Poly!" cried "Oh, you dear Roly!" she cried, and the spotted poodle dog tried to climb up in her arms and kiss her, he was so glad to see her. "I believe it is Roly," said Daddy Blake. "It is all very wonderful, but it must be our Roly." "Well, if he's yours, take him," said the engineer kindly. "I always wondered how he got under the ice.
If they saw Maida coming into the court, they would run to her side, slipping a hot little hand into each of hers. Attended always by this roly-poly bodyguard, Maida would limp from group to group of the playing children. Nobody in Primrose Court could tell the Clark twins apart.
