Raggedy Ann Stories by John B. (John Barton) Gruelle
page 44 of 76 (57%)
At daybreak the next morning Annabel and Thomas awakened to find
themselves in Raggedy Ann's bed and as they raised up and looked at each
other each knew how ashamed the other felt, for they knew Raggedy Ann
had generously given them her bed.

There Raggedy Ann lay; all sprawled out upon the hard floor, her rag
arms and legs twisted in ungraceful attitudes.

"How good and honest she looks!" said Annabel. "It must be her
shoe-button eyes!"

"How nicely her yarn hair falls in loops over her face!" exclaimed
Thomas, "I did not notice how pleasant her face looked last night!"

"The others seem to love her ever and ever so much!" mused Annabel. "It
must be because she is so kind."

Both new dolls were silent for a while, thinking deeply.

"How do you feel?" Thomas finally asked.

"Very much ashamed of myself!" answered Annabel, "And you, Thomas?"

"As soon as Raggedy Ann awakens, I shall tell her just how much ashamed
I am of myself and if she can, I want her to forgive me!" Thomas said.

"The more I look at her, the better I like her!" said Annabel.

"I am going to kiss her!" said Thomas.
