"And lots of things have happened, too!" added Bunny. "I never was near where a lion was locked up in a chicken coop before." "And I don't want to be again," said his mother. "All aboard!" cried Uncle Tad. And once more the "Ark," was traveling along the country road back toward Bellemere.
Brown is listening to the letter left by the runaway boy, I'll tell my new readers something more about Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue, and the things that happened to them in the books before this. The first volume is named "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue," and it tells of what happened to the two children in their home town of Bellemere, on Sandport Bay, near the ocean.
They said they would, and the next day the five of them went over in Mr. Brown's automobile. Mr. Treadwell was invited, but he said he had to go to the hall to make sure all the scenery for the play was ready. The Home for the Blind was in a big red brick building on the side of a hill about two miles across the valley from Bellemere.
But they had not seen Wango for some time now; not since coming to the farm in the country. They had seen a trained bear, which a man led around by a string. The bear climbed a telegraph pole, and did other tricks. Bunny and Sue thought he was very funny. But they did not like him as much as they did the cunning little monkey at home in Bellemere.
After the little show had been given, Bunker Blue, and some larger boys, thought they could get up a sort of circus. They did, holding it in two tents, a big one and a smaller one. The smaller tent belonged to Grandpa Brown, when he was in the army. And it was this tent that had just come by express to the Brown home in Bellemere.
Of course all the boys wished they could do some of the acrobatic work that Mart was to do on the stage. But though some of the lads of Bellemere, like Bunny Brown, were pretty good at turning somersaults or flipflops, none of them was equal to Mart, who had been on the stage for several years.
"Yes, Sue. Now go to sleep. Isn't this fun?" "Yes, it is when Splash is here," Sue said. Though Bunny did not say so, he, too, was glad their dog had come to spend the rest of the night with them. Not that there was anything to be afraid of, oh, dear no! There were no bears, or wolves, or anything like that in Bellemere.
The first is called "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue." Bunny and Sue lived with their father and mother in a pretty house in the town of Bellemere. Bellemere was on the seacoast and also near a small river. Mr. Brown was in the boat and fish business, and he owned a dock, or wharf, on the bay and had his office there. He had many men to help, and also a big boy, who was almost a man.
Bunny stamped his foot, spoke as sternly as he could without being too cross, and pointed back toward Bellemere. Dix looked into Bunny's face a minute, and then slowly the dog's tail drooped between his legs and he slunk off, with what was really a sad face looking at Bunny and Splash. It was as if he said: "Say, look here, Splash!
The wages aren't very big," he said, "but it would be enough for you to live on and take care of your sister." "I suppose I could board here in Bellemere," suggested Mart. "You can stay right here you and Lucile!" cried Mrs. Brown. "Our house is plenty large enough, and there's lots of room. Do stay here at least until you locate your uncle and your aunt."
