"Each sent you his love," said the White Horse. "And the Candy Rabbit,
the Lamb on Wheels and the Monkey on a Stick--each and every one
wanted to be remembered to you."

"That was very kind of them, I'm sure," said the Sawdust Doll. "But
tell me--have you had any fun since I left?"

"Oh, a little," was the answer. "Only last night the Elephant, who
borrowed some roller skates, started to race with me," said the
Rocking Horse. "We got as far as the elevators, but one of his skates
came off. We started back and then the watchman came in and spoiled
the fun."

"What a shame!" cried the Sawdust Doll. "I wish I had been there to
see. But I am so glad you have come to live here."

"Is it a nice place?" asked the Horse.

"Oh, the very nicest!" exclaimed the Sawdust Doll. "Dorothy is such a
kind mistress to me. And you will find her brother Dick a kind master,
too. I suppose you are going to belong to him."

"Well, I haven't really heard much about it," said the Horse. "A
number of boys came into the store and tried to ride me. One gave me
some hard kicks in my side--so hard that I was afraid all my paint
would come off. But a girl in the store oiled me, and I am all right
again. I think I remember Dick."
