When the Lamb had been saved, the mother of the two children came into the sitting room. "What is burning?" she cried. "Have you been playing with fire?" "No, Mother," answered Arnold, and he told what had happened. As the days passed Mirabell came to love her Lamb on Wheels more and more.
"Well, I guess my Lamb has slept long enough," said Mirabell, picking up her new toy. "I'll have some fun with her before I go to bed." She petted her Lamb, and took off the blue ribbon from the woolly creature's neck. "I must smooth it out and tie a better bow," said Mirabell. "It got all mussed when you slid down the ironing board."
She got all mussed when you banged her into the corner." "I'm sorry," said Arnold again. "Do you want me to brush her off for you?" "I guess not!" laughed Mirabell. "Once you tried to get the tangles and snarls out of the hair of one of my dolls, and you 'most pulled her head off." "All right. Then I'll take this puzzle and show it to Dick and Dorothy," decided Arnold.
"First we've got to get the long ironing board," said Arnold. "What are we going to do with that?" Mirabell asked. "Make a sliding downhill thing for your Lamb," answered her brother. "Why, how can you do that?" asked Mirabell. "There isn't any snow now, though there was some for Christmas. How can you make a sliding downhill thing without snow?" "Ill show you," Arnold said.
And with the handkerchief out came the Bold Tin Soldier which the boy had stuffed into his pocket when he hurried downstairs as his mother called him to go shopping with her and Mirabell. Out popped the Bold Tin Soldier, and he bounced right over on to the toy counter, just the very same place where he had lived before he came to Arnold's house. "Oh. look!" cried Mirabell. "How funny!
"And then!" burst out Mirabell, laughing, "my foot slipped and I let go of my Lamb on Wheels, and she fell into the flour barrel, and so did Arnold's Bold Tin Soldier." "And they were a sight, all white and covered with flour!" exclaimed the little boy. But now we must see what happened to the Calico Clown. At first he was very uncomfortable, stuck down in among the soiled clothes.
But in this play there are only Marcia and Lucia. 'It is extremely fortunate, my dear, said I to Mirabell this very morning, 'that in this play, which is the proper compliment to a great gentleman just taking office, Mr. Addison should have put no more than two women. And Mirabell says Don't put the lace so full, child; 'twon't go round."
"Look, Mirabell!" cried Arnold, pointing to the Lamb as she went down the ironing board. "Didn't I tell you she could coast without any snow?" "Yes, you did, and she really is doing it!" laughed the little girl, clapping her hands. "Oh, isn't it nice? I never thought a Lamb could coast downhill!" "I never did, either," said the woolly Lamb to herself.
"Oh, what a nice trunk!" said Mirabell to Dorothy. "I'm glad you like it," said Dorothy. She had her Sawdust Doll in her arms, and, as it happened, the Doll saw the dog running away with the Lamb on Wheels in his mouth. "Oh! Oh! Oh, dear me! That is dreadful!" said the Sawdust Doll to herself. "Oh, the poor Lamb! What will happen to her?"
Both women were richly dressed, both were beautiful; it seemed a ceremonious meeting of two ladies of quality. The gentlemen also bowed profoundly, pressing their hats against their hearts. Mistress Stagg, to whom her protégée's aversion to company was no light cross, twitched her Mirabell by the sleeve and, hanging upon his arm, prevented his further advance.
