Doctor Stephen Amony went to the newspaper to buy a copy of The Times as

usual. He suddenly remembered his niece’s birthday, so he stopped and looked

in the window. Then he came across his doll and decided to purchase it. He was
surprised by the cost because she was beautifully made. He asked Jim, the shop
owner, about the person who made it. She was a serious customer. In the
afternoon, he sent it to his niece. But in the following days, he couldn’t stop
thinking about the doll and the maker. Yet, he soon forgot them. One day, he
received a call from a woman asking him to visit her ugly house. When he
turned up, by chance, he saw the dolls—they were the same as his. The doll
maker, Mary, a leg-twisted girl, is his patient. When he first saw her, he knew
that something was wrong about this girl and this woman, as her broken leg
wasn't the problem. He tried to fix her leg, but Rose didn't allow him. He was
aware that Rose was lying about Mary's illness. During the visits, he discovered
more about Mary Nolan, that she had been in an accident and had become an
orphan. She was adopted by Rose and had been being exploited since then.
Amony suggested she stay away from making dolls, and she seemed to get
better. Unfortunately, Rose found out and told him to never come back. Then the
doctor became ill. Sometimes he dreamed about Mary calling him for help. He
figured out that he had fallen in love with Mary and why she was dying inside.
Then he planned to reveal the truth to her before she died and asked Jim for
help. When he got to the house, Mary was making dolls. He told her that her
trusted aunt had been lying to her all the time. He confessed his love to her.
Mary burst into tears, but they were all tears of joy. They saw Rose coming into
the room, but nothing could hold Mary back anymore. Finally, Mary started her
new life with Amony. Her leg was no longer twisted, and she didn't have to
make the dolls because they had their lovely children.
