To the extent that faulty wrists allow, it seems appropriate to undertake a writing experiment with a person named Julian. As there are friends from foreign lands asleep on my floor, I will begin briefly, and more important, quietly:

Sit.:
There were three rag dolls on top of a radiator. The rag doll on the left was made from the remains of a child's mother's dresses, which the mother had recently decided were no longer of use. The rag doll in the middle was made from a cotton cloth the mother used to wash the basement windows. The rag doll on the right was made from a canvas bag which the mother had found beneath the kitchen sink. The mother sewed the three rag dolls within a month of one another and gave them to the child on three successive days. The first day, the child cried when he heard thunder. The second day, the child breathed in muffled tones. The third day, the child closed his eyes and counted the white spots.

Q. 1:
Which doll was given on which day?
And,

Q. 2:
Which doll did the child love most?
