"What is the trouble, Dear?" Mamma asked, as she came out the door and
knelt beside the little figure shaking with sobs.

Marcella held out Raggedy Ann. But such a comical looking Raggedy Ann!

Mamma had to smile in spite of her sympathy, for Raggedy Ann looked
ridiculous!

Dinah's big eyes rolled out in a troubled manner, for Marcella had
snatched Raggedy Ann from Dinah's hand as she cried, "Why, Dinah! How
could you?"

Dinah could not quite understand and, as she dearly loved Marcella, she
was troubled.

Raggedy Ann was not in the least downhearted and while she felt she must
look very funny she continued to smile, but with a more expansive smile
than ever before.

Raggedy Ann knew just how it all happened and her remaining shoe-button
eye twinkled.

She remembered that morning when Marcella came to the nursery to take
the nighties from the dolls and dress them she had been cross.

Raggedy Ann thought at the time "Perhaps she had climbed out of bed
backwards!" For Marcella complained to each doll as she dressed them.
