"On, on, then!" cried Midget. "On, on! To victory, or defeat!" Each pushing a carriage, they ran down the long drive, across the wide lawn, and paused, flushed and breathless, at a rustic summer-house. Into the arbor they pushed the two coaches, and then dropped, laughing, on the seats. The babies laughed, too, and both Dotty and Totty seemed to think that to be a captive princess was a delightful fate. The girls sat still for awhile to rest, but the game went on. "Shall it be the donjon keep?" "Nay, not for these, so young and fair," answered Gladys. "Let's chain them with rose garlands to a silken couch." "Huh!" said Marjorie, "that's not a dire fate. Let's do something that's more fun. Oh, Glad, I'll tell you what! Let's exchange these babies! That's what they always do in tragedies. Listen! We'll put Dotty's hood on Totty, and Totty's cap on Dotty. And change their coats, too!" "Yes, and veils; oh, Mops! What fun! If we change their coats quickly they won't catch cold." "Cold, pooh! It's as warm as summer." It wasn't quite that, but it was a lovely, sunshiny day in early October, and, after running, it seemed quite warm to the girls. Following out their project, they quickly exchanged the babies' wraps. By this time both little ones were growing sleepy, and were in a quiet, tractable frame of mind. "Their little white dresses are almost alike, anyway," said Gladys, as she took off Totty's coat. "Oh, well, we wouldn't think of changing their dresses," said Mopsy; "but let's change their little shoes. I'd like to see Totty in those cunning ankle-ties." "And I'd like to see Dotty in those pretty blue kid shoes." "Of course, we'll change them right back, but I just want to see how they look." Soon the transformation was complete. To all outward appearance of costume, Dotty was Totty, and Totty was Dotty. Even the veils were changed, as one was of silk gauze, the other of knitted zephyr. Then, not in their own, but in each other's carriage, the reversed princesses nodded and beamed at their captors. "Now, you push that carriage, and I'll push this," said Marjorie, taking hold of the carriage she had pushed all the time, though now it had the other baby in it. "All right," said Gladys, "let's go round by the garden." Slowly now, the girls went round by the large well-kept kitchen garden, and then through the flower gardens back to the front lawn. "Why," said Marjorie, suddenly, "both these children are asleep!" "Mrs. Harrison said Totty would go to sleep," said Gladys. "I guess all babies go to sleep about this time in the morning. It seems too bad to wake them up to change their coats back again, but I think we ought to take Totty back, don't you?" "Yes, I do. Suppose we leave the coats and caps as they are, and then afterward we can bring back Dotty's things and get Totty's."
