Raggedy Ann introduced them one by one and Raggedy Andy shook hands with
each.

"I am very happy to know you all!" he said, in a voice as kindly as
Raggedy Ann's, "and I hope we will all like each other as much as
Raggedy Ann and I have always liked each other!"

"Oh, indeed we shall!" the dollies all answered. "We love Raggedy Ann
because she is so kindly and happy, and we know we shall like you too,
for you talk like Raggedy Ann and have the same cheery smile!"

"Now that we know each other so well, what do you say to a game, Uncle
Clem?" Raggedy Andy cried, as he caught Uncle Clem and danced about the
floor.

Henny, the Dutch doll, dragged the little square music box out into the
center of the room and wound it up. Then all, catching hands, danced in
a circle around it, laughing and shouting in their tiny doll voices.

"That was lots of fun!" Raggedy Andy said, when the music stopped and
all the dolls had taken seats upon the floor facing him. "You know I
have been shut up in a trunk up in an attic for years and years and
years."

"Wasn't it very lonesome in the trunk all that time?" Susan asked in
her queer little cracked voice. You see, her head had been cracked.
