“That’s where the star belongs,” said Pennie.
“We’ll never find it!” said Winnie, putting her face down on Florrie’s shoulder.
“I’m sure we shall,” said Florrie, “if Merrimeg will only help us. We don’t know anything about this dreadful earth place, but she knows.”
“Will you help us?” said Pennie.
“If I can,” said Merrimeg.
“Then come along,” said Pennie.
“Can’t I put on my clothes first?” said Merrimeg.
“There’s no time,” said Pennie. “Suppose daylight should come before we find it? What would we do?”
“Let’s go, then,” said Florrie; and she moved away lightly down the street, drawing Winnie along by the hand, their wings waving gently in the air.
“Where shall we go?” said Pennie.
