Bunny and Sue were making something in the harness room of the barn, and they kept the door shut so no one could look in. It was the night before the circus, and Bunny and Sue had gone to bed. They were almost asleep when, in the next room, they heard their mother call: "Oh, Walter!" exclaimed Mrs. Brown to her husband. "There's something under my bed.
"Oh, what will those children do next?" asked their mother. "I I didn't mean to do it," said Bunny. "It it just happened. I I couldn't help it." "No, I suppose not," said his mother. "But you must go and wash now. Sue, I'll put a clean dress on you, and then I'll see if I can get the peach stains off this one. You ought to have on an old apron."
He said he had a pet, tame bear, who had broken away from where he was tied, in the night. And it was this bear who had wandered into the tent where Bunny was sleeping. Where the bear was now no one knew, but the Italian said he would walk off through the woods, and see if he could not find his pet, which he had trained to do many tricks. Two or three days later, Mr.
Bunny said, "I wonder what makes him grumble so much?" Susan said, "T wonder what happened to Snubby Nose. He has such a funny little nose!" Then the most surprising thing happened! As they sat talking, "thump, bump" was heard, and Snubby Nose fell down stairs! He fell right on his ugly little nose and broke it! "Get the camphor! Get the smelling salts! Help, help!" cried Bunny and Susan.
They went through the stables, and Bunny displayed his favourites with an enthusiasm of which he had not believed himself capable a little earlier. The stud had always been his great delight from boyhood, and both the General and his daughter took a keen interest in all they saw.
Splash put his cold nose on me and woke me up. What are you all lookin' at me for?" Sue asked, as she saw the circle of boys, her brother among them, staring at her. "We we thought you were lost, Sue," said Bunny. "And we came to find you." "I I wasn't losted at all!" Sue protested. "I was here all the while! I just went to sleep!" And that was what had happened.
And Sue liked fun so much, also, that she always followed Bunny. Wango did many funny tricks, and he, too, got into mischief. Sometimes it was hard to say who got oftener into trouble Bunny Brown and his sister Sue, or Wango, the queer little monkey.
Some of them have come in useful even to your knowledge, Bunny: what price my Cockney that night in St. John's Wood? I can keep up my end in stage Irish, real Devonshire, very fair Norfolk, and three distinct Yorkshire dialects. But my good Galloway Scots might be better, and I mean to make it so." "You still haven't told me where to write to you." "I'll write to you first, Bunny."
"But you musn't do it again," Aunt Lu said, and of course Bunny and Sue promised they would not. "Now come on down to the fish dock, and we'll see the boats come in," Bunny begged, and off they started. There was much going on at Mr. Brown's, dock that day. Some boats were getting dressed up in new suits of sails, and others were being painted.
"You've made my store into a regular circus!" "But it's good for business, isn't it?" asked Bunny. "Indeed it is!" said the old lady, with a smile. "I never was so busy. That oatmeal is selling fine. I wish I'd had a special sale of it before." Besides the boxes in the window there were packages of oatmeal piled on shelves ready to be sold.
