A moment later a small stream spurted out, and Arnold aimed it right for the piece of blazing paper. The water fell in a small shower on the fire, and then with a hiss and spluttering, and sending up a cloud of smoke, the paper stopped burning. "Toot! Toot! The fire is out!" cried the boy, making believe blow his engine whistle. "Now your Lamb is saved, Mirabell." "Oh, I'm so glad!
"Yes, so I can," said Arnold. "I'll do it. Wait until I get the little wooden cannon that shoots paper bullets. I'll put that in the war." "And I'll get my little Wooden Doll and pretend she is a Red Cross Nurse," said Mirabell. Together the children ran from the room, leaving the Tin Soldiers on the table and the Lamb on Wheels on the floor.
"We'll let him stand there until Daddy comes home with the auto and can take him to the hospital," said Mother. And then it was that the White Rocking Horse had a chance to speak to the Sawdust Doll. Dorothy laid her Doll on a chair in the hall to help Dick, Mirabell and Arnold bring the toy train inside, as it was getting too cold to play out on the porch. "I'm sorry," murmured the Doll.
Madeline and Dorothy and Mirabell were in the back yard where they had gone to play in the sand pile, after leaving the Sawdust Doll and the Candy Rabbit on the front veranda. Madeline's mother was not at home, and the cook was too busy in the kitchen to bother with giving pennies to organ grinders, though she might have done so if she had had time and had had plenty of pennies.
The Calico Clown knew this to be so, and he knew that either Arnold or Mirabell would at once be able to say that the Clown belonged to Sidney, for they had seen Sidney playing with this toy. "Back into my pocket you go!" said the Man, and he took the Clown down off the top of the desk. "There are a lot of handkerchiefs in that pocket," the man went on.
About a week after Joe had been taken to the hospital, where he had been put in a little white bed, with a rosy-cheeked nurse to look after him, there came a knock on the door of the house where Joe lived, and where the Nodding Donkey also had his home. "Is Joe here?" asked a little girl named Mirabell, who carried in her arms a toy Lamb on Wheels. "Joe? No, dear, he isn't here.
"I'll bring over my White Rocking Horse and your Lamb, Mirabell." So, as it happened, Herbert's Monkey and Madeline's Candy Rabbit were the first of the toy friends to be brought into the tent. The Monkey was on his stick, as Herbert was going to make him do tricks by climbing up to the top of it, and turning somersaults, as it was intended for the Monkey to do.
The toys spent a happy half hour together, and then when Mirabell and Herbert came back into the room, having finished their bread and jam, the Donkey, the Lamb, and the Monkey had to become quiet. "We'll come over again, when Joe gets home," said Mirabell, as she and Herbert left. "And we'll get the other boys and girls and give him a toy party," added the owner of the Monkey.
He did not seem to be harmed in the least. "But he's got a green grass stain on one ear," said Mirabell. "That only makes him look more stylish," said Dorothy. "And green goes well with the pink color of his ribbon," added Madeline. "Oh, I'm so glad to get my Rabbit back." Madeline took her Candy Rabbit back to the house. There she and the girls had some fun, and the boys kept on flying the kite.
"I guess she is so soft and woolly that she didn't get hurt much," Mirabell said, turning the Lamb over and over. "She's so fat and soft like a rubber ball," she added. "I'm glad of that," said Arnold. "Next time I come into a room I'll look near the door to see that there isn't a Lamb behind it" "That's the boy!" exclaimed Uncle Tim. "And here is something I brought for you, Arnold.
