Belle means beautiful. So it seemed to be just the name for this beautiful china-headed doll. Her cheeks are the color of wild rose petals. Her brow is white as snow. Her eyes are as blue as the sea. What a shame that the skin on her arms and hands isn't satiny. It is like gingham, brown plaid gingham.
Belle's seventy years of life have been full of change. First, a long sea voyage to this country and then a year's stay in a shop. Next a home and a girl companion. Play days were followed by years of quiet in the attic. At last a new home, new dresses and a pet of her own, a gentle-eyed spaniel named Fannie.
