Chapter 3 Mrs. Watson measured Mercy from snout to tail. She measured her from side to side. She measured Mercy around and around and around. " Heavens, " said Mrs. Watson. " I hope I have enough fabric. " When Mercy woke up from her nap, Mrs. Watson was smiling at her.

" Darling, " said Mrs. Watson, " your dress is finished. " " Oink, " said Mercy. " I know, " said Mrs. Watson. " It is stunning, isn't it? Let's try it on. "

Mrs. Watson put Mercy's right front leg into the dress. Mercy took her right front leg out. Mrs. Watson put Mercy's left front leg into the dress. Mercy took her left front leg out.

" Goodness gracious! " said Mrs. Watson. " Please hold still or we will never get this dress on. " " My darlings, my dears, " called Mr. Watson, " I am home! And I have located the tiara! " " Oh, Mr. Watson, " said Mrs. Watson. " I am having a difficult time here. Mercy does not want to wear her princess dress. " " Perhaps, " said Mr. Watson, “ you should tell her about the treats. "
