All about the floor wrapping paper and the covers of boxes were scattered. The toys, as they were taken out of the case, had been set on shelves about the room. "This will be enough for to-night," said the toy-dealer after a while. "We will leave things as they are, now that we have all the toys unpacked. To-morrow I will put some in the show window, and the boys and girls will come to buy them." "Be sure and put the Plush Bear in the window," said Angelina. "I know he'll be one of the first to go, he is so cute and he can do so many things when he is wound up. He shakes his head and moves his paws." "He is a good toy," said Mr. Mugg. And a little later the toy shop was in darkness, except for one light that was left burning all night. "Oh, ho!" thought the Plush Bear, when he saw Mr. Mugg and his daughters leave. "Now is our chance! Now we can come to life!" He turned his head to one side, and spoke to the Wax Doll. "How do you like it here?" asked the Plush Bear. "Oh, very much," the Doll answered. "As soon as we get to know the other toys I'm sure we shall like it." |
