"I've found a basket and--and--Oh,
Herbert! look what a lovely Candy Rabbit. Oh, I'm so glad!" and the
little girl picked up the Candy Rabbit and fairly hugged him. The Candy
Rabbit was very happy. He had now found some one to love him--some one
to whom he could belong, as the Sawdust Doll belonged to the little girl
Dorothy.
As Madeline took up her Easter basket and the Rabbit, Herbert, who was
eating some of his candy eggs, called:
"Here come Dorothy and Dick over to show us their Easter baskets."
"And I'm going to show Dorothy my Candy Rabbit!" cried Madeline.
Running to the window, Madeline held up the Rabbit, and he, looking out
of his glass eyes, saw a sight that gladdened his heart. In Dorothy's
arms was the Sawdust Doll--the same Sawdust Doll who had lived in the
store whence the Candy Rabbit had come.
As Dorothy and Dick came laughing into the room where Madeline and
Herbert were, the children called to one another:
"Happy Easter! Happy Easter!"
CHAPTER III
THE BAD CAT
"What a pretty Candy Rabbit!" said Dorothy to Madeline. "Where did you
get him?"
"He's one of my Easter presents," answered Madeline. "Herbert and I have
just finished hunting for our baskets."
"Did you find them all, and all the eggs?" inquired Dick.
