It comes to the child when it realizes that its dolly is not so interesting as it thought, and that it would be more interesting to play with other children, who, at least, are alive. Then the dolly is thrown away. But, before that, the child takes the dolly, and loves it, and carries it about. And, if the dolly's hand is hurt, the child wants some remedy, and a bed is needed to put the dolly in, and a carriage is needed to take the dolly out. But when the nature of the dolly is understood, the dolly is thrown away, and the child realizes that to play with children of its age is better than those dollies who never speak.
