9010 When the first gray light creeps in through the cur-tains there is gen-er-al-ly a sud-den nest-ling to be heard in the crib that stands at one side of the bed. Soon Ar-thur's curl-y yel-low head pops up out of the pil-lows. "Are you waked up, Dol-ly- ba-by?" calls a mer-ry voice. "Coo-ah-goo-coo" an-swers Dol-ly-ba-by. "Mam-ma, I want to see her," says Ar-thur, sit-ting up to look o-ver.
8010 Then mam-ma parts the lace. cur-tains of Dol-ly-ba-by's crib, and dis-clos-es the lit-tle sis-ter, all sweet and ro-sy with sleep, smil-ing on her pil-low. "Loves Dol-ly-ba-by," says Ar-thur, throw-ing a kiss. Dol-ly makes fun-ny eyes at her broth-er, and throws up her fat lit-tle hands. "Ah- goo-goo!" she says. "Let me have her, please, mam-ma," says Ar-thur. Then Dol-ly-ba-by is lift-ed o-ver in-to the big crib; and there is rock-ing and sing-ing and smil-ing and coo-ing un-til nurse comes to car-ry both rogues a-way to be dressed.
