You put on father's long coat and his tall hat, and then ring the door bell, just as the doctor does." 66 "O yes, sister, I will be the doctor. When I ring the bell, Ann must open the door for me." 66 Well, I will send Ann to the door when you ring." Then Frank put on his father's tall hat and long coat.

Ann went to open the door, and there stood Frank, trying very hard to look like a doctor. 66 Come in, sir," said Ann, and Frank came into the room where Mary was. "Good morning, doctor," said Mary. 66 Good morning, Miss Mary. Did you send for me?" "Yes, doctor, I sent for you because my doll is very sick." Very sick?
