Updated: May 9, 2025

Doasyouwouldbedoneby, the loveliest fairy in the world. Tom tried hard to be good on Saturday; he did not frighten one crab, nor put one pebble into a sea-anemone's mouth. Sunday came, and so did Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby. All the children danced round her, for she had the sweetest, merriest face Tom had ever seen. "He's the new water-baby," they informed the fairy. "He never had any mother."
