This is her picture — Dolladine — The beautifullest doll that ever was seen! Oh, what nosegays! Oh, what sashes! Oh, what beautiful eyes and lashes! Oh, what a precious perfect pet! On each instep a pink rosette; Little blue shoes for her little blue tots; Elegant ribbons in bows and knots. Her hair is powdered; her arms are straight, Only feel, she is quite a weight! Her legs are limp, though; — stand up, miss! — What a beautiful buttoned-up mouth to kiss!
