Dr. Day and his wife take Nellie into their home, until something can be done for her. She seems so melancholy that Dr. Day says she must be roused. To this end he takes her with him on his rounds of visits. At length they come to the home of a very poor woman, whose only child, a girl, is a cripple, not even able to sit up. While talking with little Betty Nellie idly draws a rag which is lying on the bed, and from it fashions a rude doll. When Betty sees it she is so enraptured and lavishes such a world of love on it that Dr. Day tells her he will buy a real one if Nellie will dress it. She promises, and they go and buy a large doll, which she dresses. As they are taking the doll to Betty a rich man sends for them to come and see his motherless daughter, a child of five. The child cries for the doll, and her father hires Nellie to dress all of Lily's numerous dolls. He at length falls in love with her, in a peculiar manner, and she promises to be his wife.
