What the Clock Told Dolly

"What the Clock Told Dolly" is a short story where five-year-old Dolly Dimple curls up by a crackling hall fire on her birthday and discovers that the ancient, long-silent clock on the landing can speak. The clock — whose face seems to smile or sorrow depending on Dolly's mood — narrates its own history, from sundials and shadow-sticks to cat's eyes used as timepieces, and shares the quiet lesson it has ticked out for generations: keep your hands busy, and do right. A wry cricket provides skeptical commentary throughout.
