Page 79 - Among the camps, or, Young people's stories of the war

in Mitidleburgh. The old doctor explained to Nancy Pansy
that they had all gone away to the war. She did not quite
understand what dollies had to do with fighting, but she
knew that war made the dolls disappear. Still she kept on
talking about the new doll she would get on her birthday at
Christmas, and as the old doctor used to talk to her about it,

and discuss the sort of hair it should have, and the kind of
dress it should wear, she never doubted that she should get it
in her stocking as usual on Christmas morning.
