For twice that day she had been acclaimed a heroine--once because
she had tamed a caterpillar, and once because she was older than the
Snoodle.
Chapter X
Sara's Day
Something told Sara, the next morning, to take every one of her dolls.
And the minute she entered the Garden she was glad that she had.
It was clear that something very unusual was afoot. She had never seen
her dear Garden look so festive. It was lavishly decorated with
sun-shafts and rainbows, and everywhere waved streamers of pink
sunrise and violet mist. Over the fountain, in front of the tree where
the Plynck sat, had been stretched a large electric sign. It read,
"In Honor of Sara. Because She is Older than the Snoodle!"
It was made of white and pink gum-drops, and they told her afterward
that the Snimmy had sat up all night to weep them. The Plynck
furnished the electricity by smiling every little while. This lit up
the pink and white gum-drops, till they looked like the tiny globes on
the Wooded Island at the Park. Of course this was in the daytime, but
the Plynck's smile was so much stronger than ordinary electricity that
even in daytime it shone with quite a dazzling effect.
All of her friends were there except Avrillia.
