One of the ladies who lived in the Millhouse was a milliner, and she had 
made Nell a dress, sewing it all together by hand. Rita had brought this dress 
with her, and she helped Nell change into it, right there in the middle of the 
meadow. Then she braided Nell's hair and even tucked some tiny wildflowers into 
it. Finally she helped Nell climb up on top of Eggshell with her and began 
riding back toward the Millhouse.
