But the rain did not go away, and, finding that mamma had fallen asleep over her book, Marnie said to herself,--- "I will go and play quietly with my fairy-land till mamma wakes up and cuts me some paper fairies to put in it." Marnie's fairy-land was as pretty a plaything as any child could wish for, and, as every child can make one in the summer-time, let us tell what it was.

That rainy day, when she had longed for something to do, her mother said,-- "As you can't go to fairy-land, why don't you make one for yourself?"

Mamma was so kind and helpful in suggesting ways and supplying means, that the new fairy-land really did seem to rise as if by enchantment.

Marnie's china bowl was sunk deep in the moss, filled with water, on which floated pea-pod boats with rose-leaf sails.

Dead butterflies, lady-bugs, and golden-green beetles from Marnie's museum, hung here and there, as if alive.

Marnie never knew how it happened, but, as she sat looking at the Swiss cottage, she suddenly heard a rustling inside, and saw something pass before the open windows.
