About six o'clock
` Amen ! ' said old Mother Manikin , in her hoarse whisper . She did not talk any more after this . About six o'clock there came a rap on the caravan door , and a woman in a long cloak appeared , asking if Mother Manikin were there . She belonged to the Royal Show of Dwarfs , and she had come to take Mother Manikin home before the business of the market-place commenced . Some men were already passing by to their work ; so the woman wrapped Mother Manikin in a shawl , and carried her home like a baby , covering her with her cloak , so that no one should see who she was . Rosalie thanked her with tears in her eyes for all her kindness ; and the little woman promised soon to come again and see how her patient was .
