and the button- eyed face of the rag doll her mother made with the remnants , the doll she dressed like her daughter , and mary loved the doll until she left it one day by accident in the barnyard , running from a rooster gone crazy when she went alone to collect the eggs , and her mother found the doll in the mud and screamed and cried as if the doll were her own child , and ever after , that button-eyed face appeared in dreams as a demon to frighten mary , and mary couldnt tell her mother she woke crying from a dream about the doll , somehow she knew she couldnt tell her that .
