All at once she saw two little girls walking toward her. They looked just like her dolls--Bella and Emily--only they were as large as herself.
Louise tried to get up, but she was unable to move.
"Let us undress her," said Bella Doll, coming over to Louise and lifting her by one arm.
"Yes," said Emily Doll, "and comb her hair."
Then Louise knew what had happened--she had turned into a doll and the dolls had become little girls.
The doll girls undressed Louise and put on her nightdress, pulling it over her head in the most careless manner, Louise thought. Then they combed her hair, pulling it terribly.
"I wonder how she likes to have her hair pulled," said Bella Doll.
"She knows how it feels, now," said Emily.
"I think she better go out," said Bella Doll, "instead of going to bed," and they dressed her in a thin white dress. "Now we will take her out in the cold; that is the way she does with us."
They fastened her clothes with pins and pushed them right through her body, and after she was dressed they changed their minds about taking her out and threw her on the floor and began playing games.
