There was a broom made of a fir-twig, a burr for a doorscraper; a berry on a thread made a knocker. ‘In summer I’ll get you a dandelion clock,’ she told Fairy Doll.

‘You haven’t got a bath,’ said Josie.

‘Fairies don’t need baths,’ said Elizabeth. ‘They wash outside in the dew.’

It was odd; she was beginning to know about fairies.

‘What does she eat?’ asked Josie.

‘Snow ice-cream,’ said Elizabeth – it was snowing – ‘holly baked apples, and hips off the rose trees.’

‘Hips are too big for a little doll like that,’ said Josie.

‘They are fairy pineapples,’ said Elizabeth with dignity.

‘Look what Elizabeth has made,’ cried Christabel, and she said in surprise, ‘It’s pretty!’

Godfrey came to look. ‘Gosh!’ said Godfrey.

Josie put her hand to touch a toadstool, and a funny feeling stirred inside Elizabeth, a feeling like a hard little wand.

‘Don’t touch,’ said Elizabeth to Josie.
