rounds, and instead of the latter two being called li the
twins,” they and H arry were now dubbed '“the triplets," It

patient’s door. Of course, so much work as Harry had to do
had Lhe effect of marring her freshness a good deal, and

she met with one or two severe accidents, such as break­
ing her leg, and cracking her neck ; but the old doctor
attended her in the gravest way, and performed such success­
ful operations that really she was, except as to looks, almost

as good as new; besides, as Nancy Pansy explained, dolls
had to have measles and “ theseases” just like other folks.
