The shades of evening were beginning to close in as the Queen left the hall, and suddenly Peggy began to feel as if she had had a very long day, and would like to go to sleep in her own little bed at home, if only she could get there. She began to wonder if it would be necessary to go over again all the long journey between Toyland and her home, and turned to ask Wooden how they were to get back.
But as she turned, the hall and all the dolls in it seemed to be fading away, and as she opened her mouth to speak——
She awoke, to find herself lying in her own little white bed, with dear Wooden in her arms, and Teddy with his impudent face lying on the pillow, pointing one paw towards the open window, into which the happy morning sun was shining.
