Mrs. Smith's particular Smith may be worth his millions and live in his marble palace; but if Mrs. Smith thinks her coachman is going to stand with his horses at that door until she appears, she is mistaken, for she is a minute late, and now the coach moves on, and Rhadamanthus calls aloud, "Mrs. Brown's carriage stops the way!"
He came from a farm a good way off, and was somewhat of a stranger. "She's Sue that's my sister," Bunny explained. "She was here a little while ago, but now she's lost!" "This is Bunny Brown," explained Bunker to the other boys. "He and his sister Sue are staying at Grandpa Brown's farm. Their grandfather let us take this tent," he said.

"Brown's a very nice colour," ses Mrs. Finch, wondering wot was the matter with old Sam. "Blue," ses Ginger; "big blue eyes they're the ones for me. Other people may 'ave their blacks and their browns," he ses, looking at Sam and Peter Russet, "but give me blue."
