You see how easy it is to pass over the little bumps of life if we are
happy inside.
And so Raggedy Andy was quiet all day, and so the day finally passed.
Raggedy Andy was given one of Uncle Clem's clean white nighties and
shared Uncle Clem's bed. Marcella kissed them all good night and left
them to sleep until morning.
But as soon as she had left the room all the dolls raised up in their
beds. When their little mistress' footsteps passed out of hearing, all
the dollies jumped out of their beds and gathered around Raggedy Andy.
Raggedy Ann introduced them one by one and Raggedy Andy shook hands with
each.

"I am very happy to know you all!" he said, in a voice as kindly as
Raggedy Ann's, "and I hope we will all like each other as much as
Raggedy Ann and I have always liked each other!"
"Oh, indeed we shall!" the dollies all answered. "We love Raggedy Ann
because she is so kindly and happy, and we know we shall like you too,
for you talk like Raggedy Ann and have the same cheery smile!"
"Now that we know each other so well, what do you say to a game, Uncle
Clem?" Raggedy Andy cried, as he caught Uncle Clem and danced about the
floor.
Henny, the Dutch doll, dragged the little square music box out into the
center of the room and wound it up.
