“Was it really Harriett’s canary?” asked Teddy.
“I haven’t time to talk of that now,” cried the Counterpane Fairy, “for I hear your mother coming. Good-bye! good-bye!”
And sure enough she had scarcely disappeared behind the counterpane hill when his mamma came in.
“Oh, Mamma!” cried Teddy, “do you think Harriett’s canary came back?
“I don’t know, dear,” said his mother. Then she put a little package into his hand. “Do you think Harriett will like that?” she asked.
When Teddy opened the bundle he saw a cunning little bisque doll that sat in a little tin bath-tub. You could take the doll out and dress it, or you could really bathe it in the tub.
“Oh! isn’t that cute!” cried Teddy, with delight. “Won’t little Cousin Harriett be pleased!”
“I hope she will,” said mamma.
