She thought the prince might have come back.
One of the proud sisters was at the door dressed as a doctor.
She said, “Come quickly in my automobile, for the prince lies ill in a distant city.”
The other sister was hiding near by and when Marygold stepped into the automobile, the proud sisters gave it a push and it ran away with Marygold in it. It ran over a steep cliff, and Marygold fell out. Down, down, down, she went.
The sisters thought they had seen the last of her. They hurried away as fast as they could.
But Marygold was not hurt at all, for the Sun-bonnet Fairies were waiting at the bottom of the cliff with a soft blanket. They caught her in the blanket as she fell.
The Sun-bonnet Fairies danced about Marygold.
They cried, “Oh, ho! so we have caught you!”
The Sun-bonnet Fairies are funny little creatures. They wear their bonnets night and day.
Marygold begged them to let her go, but the fairies said, “No, no!” and held her fast.
