'Why, you've got another dress on!' cried Mary. For this morning Evangeline was dressed all in white. There was not any colour about her dress, and this seemed to Mary quite as it ought to be, though she could not help thinking she should like to see the wings. 'Is the prince very lovely?' Mary cried, as Evangeline stooped to kiss her, and Sister Agatha laughed as she left the room. 'Yes, dear,' answered Evangeline, sitting on a low stool by Mary's side. 'My prince is beautiful and good and noble.' 'Then he must be everything at once,' said Mary. 'He is everything to me,' answered Evangeline quietly. 'Why do you look so red?' asked Mary, staring into her face. 'Do I look red?' said Evangeline. 'Very,' answered Mary, 'and now you're redder than ever. Sister Agatha,' Mary went on, 'says you can do everything you like, and I know you can, because you brought me here, you see.' 'Not quite everything,' said Evangeline. 'Sister Agatha says you have a lot of magic counters,' answered Mary. 'She says they're flat, round, yellow things that you give to people to make them do what you like.' 'Ah! well,' said Evangeline, 'they will make people do a good many things that would please you very much. Suppose we try!' 'Yes,' answered Mary, 'I should like that.' 'Then you shall tell me what you want,' said Evangeline, 'and we will see whether we can make it come. Now,' she exclaimed, 'what should you like to have first?' III MARY SEES WHAT THE MAGIC COUNTERS CAN DO Mary looked very solemn as if she was thinking deeply, but for a long time she did not speak. In fact, she did not know quite what to say, because she seemed to have everything she wanted just at present. 'Well,' cried Evangeline, 'you are a good while making up your mind!' 'What shall I say?' asked Mary. 'Suppose you said you would like some pretty frocks,' Evangeline suggested. 'What do you think of that?' 'Oh, I should like to have some pretty frocks very much!' answered Mary, as Sister Agatha entered the room. She went to Evangeline's side and whispered something which Mary could not hear, then Evangeline said out loud-- 'Mary wants to have some new dresses,' and she looked into Sister Agatha's face with a smile. 'Well, I never!' exclaimed Sister Agatha. 'Who would have dreamed of such a thing! I suppose you will make the incantation? Please begin at once,' she added; 'Mary has never seen you dance, you know.'
