“What in the world?” thought the little girl.
“I will show you how to make ‛near-ermine’ fur,” said Fairy Lady, dipping the broad end of the large toothpick into the ink, and making black tail-like marks on the flannelette.
“Oh, how sweet!” exclaimed Mary Frances.
“Isn’t it pretty?” said Fairy Lady. “This is for the lining. What will the outside of the cape be?”
“Here is some heavy blue silk,” said Mary Frances.
“Lovely!” exclaimed Fairy Lady. “You can cut out the cape, then pin it to the flannelette, and cut out the lining. Then unpin it, and mark the lining like this, to imitate ermine;—and here is another parcel from the Thimble King.”
Mary Frances opened the package and read aloud:
