And when it came Raggedy's time to be dressed, Marcella was very cross
for she had scratched her finger on a pin when dressing the French doll.

So, when Marcella heard the little girl next door calling to her, she
ran out of the nursery and gave Raggedy Ann a toss from her as she ran.

Now it happened Raggedy lit in the clothes hamper and there she lay all
doubled up in a knot.

A few minutes afterwards Dinah came through the hall with an armful of
clothes and piled them in the hamper on top of Raggedy Ann.

Then Dinah carried the hamper out in back of the house where she did the
washing.

Dinah dumped all the clothes into the boiler and poured water on them.

The boiler was then placed upon the stove.

When the water began to get warm, Raggedy Ann wiggled around and climbed
up amongst the clothes to the top of the boiler to peek out. There was
too much steam and she could see nothing. For that matter, Dinah could
not see Raggedy Ann, either, on account of the steam.

So Dinah, using an old broom handle, stirred the clothes in the boiler
and the clothes and Raggedy Ann were stirred and whirled around until
all were thoroughly boiled.

When Dinah took the clothes a piece at a time from the boiler and
scrubbed them, she finally came upon Raggedy Ann.
