Dorothy's House Party

Dorothy sat up in bed and looked about her. For a moment she did not realize where she was nor how she came to be in such a strange and charming room. Then from somewhere in the distance sounded a merry, musical voice, singing: "Old Noah of old he built an ark- One more river to cross He built it out of hickory bark- One more riv--" The refrain was never finished. Dorothy was at the open window calling lustily: "Alfy Alfy Babcock Come right up here this very, very minute " "Heigho, Sleepy Head You awake at last? Well, I should think it was time. I'll be right up, just as soon as I can put these yeller artemisias into Mis' Calvert's yeller bowl."
