“Cross the center,” the King said to the Fairy, who stepped from the wrong side of the dress through to the right side and up through one of the tiny holes in the button which Margaret was holding for him. Then he crossed over the center to the opposite hole and slid down through to the wrong side again.
“Now up through the other hole and cross again,” said Sir Bodkin which the Stitcher did and slid back to the wrong side again.
