But at that moment the Fairies must have heard Sweetclover's prayer, for I am sure she must have uttered one when her beloved Kernel Cob was so near to being cut apart. The door opened, and in walked a man, a woman, and a little girl. And they were Americans, too, for the first thing Sweetclover heard was the little girl saying: "Mother dear, I do so want a dollie."
Now you may be sure that Sweetclover's heart fell, when she heard this, and thought of being separated from Kernel Cob, and I am quite sure that she prayed very hard to the Fairies; for at that moment the little Japanese girl dropped her, and this caused Dorothy to see what had fallen, and, when she saw Sweetclover, she ran and picked her up. "Oh!" she cried with pleasure. "Isn't she lovely.
And one of these dogs came sniffing along and the first thing he did was to find the Villain, and you can imagine his and Sweetclover's delight when they saw him. Around his neck was a little knapsack, and this he told them to untie and they would find food and a roll of fine warm wool inside. And putting the wool about them they were soon warm as toast.
"Mercy!" said Sweetclover, and she began to sob. "If you're going to begin to cry," said Kernel Cob, "I'm going to give up," but the Villain whispered something kindly in Sweetclover's ear, and she stopped at once, for the Villain had more patience, and knew how to comfort her. "Maybe I can help you to escape from here," said Jackie Tar, "and maybe I can't, but I can try.
"Hush!" said Kernel Cob, "I hear the chirping of a Cricket," for his ears were quicker to hear than either Sweetclover's or the Cricket's. And sure enough you could now hear the chirping.... "Crick-a-crick-a-crick," and the Cricket pricked up his ears and held up a foot to warn them to keep silence. "I'm sorry to tell you," he said as the chirping stopped, "that they are not here."
Sweetclover's heart was beating high with happiness; but suddenly there came into her mind the thought of leaving the Villain; her good, thoughtful friend, who had so often consoled her in her troubles, and her heart fell again.
