Her dress was of soft material blue with pretty little flowers and dots all over it. Forgetting everything else in the happiness of her find Marcella caught up the rag doll and ran downstairs to show it to grandma. Well, well, where did you find it? Grandma cried.

Well, well, dear, old raggedy Ann, I will sew another button on her right away. And grandma went to the machine drawer and got her needle and thread.

You have two fine shoe button eyes and with them, you can see the changes that have taken place in the world while you have been shut up so long in the attic. For Regan, you have a new playmate and mistress now and I hope you both will have as much happiness together as you and I used to have.
