“I-I-I don’t know what to put on her,” said Titus, in a puzzled way. “S-s-she can’t put her old dirty coat over that white rig.”
The Judge opened the hall closet. “Let us see what we have here.”
Titus came forward and, rummaging in drawers and on hooks, brought out a small cap.
“H-h-here, child, try this on.”
Bethany carefully put her toys on the floor and obediently held up her head.
The cap was several sizes too large, but she did not complain, only quietly pushed it to the back of her head.
“Here is a scarf,” said the Judge, “wrap that round your neck.”
Bethany did as she was told, and Titus next brought out a short coat of his own.
“I-i-it’s worlds too large,” he observed, “but it will keep her warm.”
“What about her feet?” inquired the Judge.
