Finish the story begins with:
“After losing her head, she realized that the rest of her body was falling apart!”

“After losing her head, she realized that the rest of her body was falling apart!”

‘Nanny, please don't make me cry,’ Elsie cried.

Wrapping her arms around her young granddaughter tightly, Ellen let the book fall to the ground. 

‘Hush now, sweetie, everything will be alright.’

‘But the doll hasn’t got her head and her arms are broken,’ came a despairing wail.

The sound of sirens could be heard coming up the road, Ellen and Elsie rushed to the window to see out.  The ambulance stopped right outside their house.  Elsie looked at her grandmother. 

‘Princess Charlotte of Cambridge will be well looked after at the Doll’s Hospital. The Doll doctor will make her well again.  She’ll come home brand new, with a very pretty head and lovely brown hair all tied up with blue silk ribbons.  Her arms will work properly and she’ll be able to move her legs again.’  

Ellen’s voice was reassuringly calm as she brushed her lips against Elsie’s curly ringlets.
