caught hold of the French doll's lively curls, and they pulled and they
pulled.

Then the other dolls caught hold of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and
pulled and pulled, until finally, with a sharp "R-R-Rip!" the French
doll's hair came off, and the dolls who were pulling went tumbling over
backwards.

Laughingly they scrambled to their feet and sat the French doll up, so
they might look into the hole in the top of her head.

Yes, the sticky "medicine" had grown hard and would not let the French
doll's eyes open.

Raggedy Andy put his hand inside and pushed on the eyes so that they
opened.

This was all right, only now the eyes would not close when the French
doll lay down. She tried it.

So Raggedy Andy ran down into the kitchen and brought up a small tin cup
full of warm water and a tiny rag.

With these he loosened the sticky "medicine" and washed the inside of
the French doll's head nice and clean.
