"
Pretty soon it was time to eat ice cream and cake. That is one of the
nicest times at a party, I think; and Dick, Arnold and Herbert, as well
as the other boys and girls, thought the same thing, I am sure. While
they were in another room, eating the good things, the Candy Rabbit and
the Sawdust Doll were left to themselves.
"I have been wanting to talk to you for the longest time!" said the
Sawdust Doll.
"And I have so many things to tell you," said the Candy Rabbit. "Such
remarkable adventures!"
He started to hop across the table, to get nearer to the Sawdust Doll,
but he did not see the thimble which the children had been playing with,
and which had been left on the table. The Candy Rabbit jumped on the
thimble, which rolled out from under his paws.
"Oh, look out! You're going to fall!" cried the Sawdust Doll.
And down fell the Candy Rabbit.

CHAPTER X
IN A BOY'S POCKET
"Are you hurt?" asked the Sawdust Doll anxiously, looking with sympathy
at the Candy Rabbit. "Let me help you up!"
"Oh, thank you, I can get up myself," answered the sugary chap. "And I
am not at all hurt. The table cloth was soft."
He was just going to get up and hop over to the Doll when, all at once,
the Sawdust toy exclaimed:
"Be quiet! Here come the children back!"
And into the room trooped the boys and girls, having finished eating the
ice cream and cake.
