"Are you going to stay two weeks?"
"Wait, wait, children!" said Mrs. Snow, "ask one question at a time."
They rode to Mary's house in a car, and all these questions and many others were asked and answered.
It was the night before Christmas and the children were going to hang up their stockings.
"Hang them by the chimney in your playroom," said Mary's mother. "Then Santa Claus won't have far to go."
So the children ran up to the playroom with their stockings.
"Oh, look!" said Boy Blue. "Sister's stocking is so small that Santa Claus can't get even a rag doll into it."
Mary found a basket for Little Sister.
"You can put this right under your stocking, dear," she said.
"I will write a letter to Santa Claus and tell him where to put your presents."
