There was nice, clear weather after the storm and flood, and soon the circus tents were dried out again. The boards were once more put across the boxes for seats. One day Bunker and Ben went into the big tent. There they saw Bunny and Sue tying some pieces of old carpet on to some of the planks down near the front sawdust ring.
"All day he nibbled pie Till at last I thought he'd die," Said the doctor with a sigh. And then Mr. William Bunny looked at his small son and sighed, too, for he had just paid the doctor's bill. "Please don't sing any more," said little Billy Bunny. "Don't you remember the doctor said I was to be kept quiet?" So Mr.
But Henry told us not to touch the paint." "No, he didn't, Sue. He only told us to keep away from the wheelbarrow, and I am. I won't go near it. But we'll get the pot of paint, and stripe the calf green." "All right," agreed Sue. "I'll hold the paint-pot, and you can dip your brush in." Not meaning to do anything wrong, of course, Bunny and Sue hurried to get the pot of paint.
"Who is the youngster!" asked Bushy Tail, pointing to Bunny Boy. Then Bunny Boy made himself as small as possible. He did not care for Bushy Tail. Bushy Tail said he must tell about his trip. Besides, he had something for Bunny and Susan in his bag. It had begun to snow, and Bushy Tail was very wet. He stood by the fire and warmed his paws.
Brown's maiden sister, and the Aunt Lu whom the children were so eagerly expecting this morning. She had written that she was coming to spend a few weeks at the seashore place, and, later on, she intended to have Bunny and Sue and their mother visit her in the big city. Bunny and Sue looked eagerly forward to this.
"Well, now we've got everything eaten up," said Bunny, as he gathered up the last crumbs of the pie his mother had baked in the oil stove which they had brought to camp. "Let's go and see what the surprise is." "I'm not so sure it is a surprise," returned Sue slowly. "Mother didn't say so. She just said she wouldn't tell us until you got all make-believe well again. So I suppose it's a surprise.
There's not the smallest harm in it now; and if you'll come with me I'll show you how it used to be done." "But I know," said I. "Who used to haul up the rope after you, and let it down again to the minute?" Raffles looked down on me from lowered lids, over a smile too humorous to offend. "My dear good Bunny! And do you suppose that even then I had only one way of doing a thing?
No one needed to pull his strings now, for he could dance by himself, no eyes of children or grown folk being in the closet to watch him. Up and down, first to this side and then to the other, now on his left foot and now on his right, tapping his cymbals softly together, and wagging his head, the Calico Clown amused the Match-Safe Cat and the sugar Bunny in the closet. "Oh, don't dance any more!
And then I forgot all about him, and I left him there, and I thought of him after supper, and I guessed he'd be hungry, so I went back to get him." "Yes, that's just what he did," said the hardware man. "I was busy waiting on late Christmas Eve customers, when in came Bunny, all covered with snow.
Besides she couldn't get downstairs, for you boys pulled two trunks in front of the stairs for a fort." "So we did," said Charlie. "She couldn't have gone down without moving the trunks, and they haven't been moved." "Well, then she must be up here somewhere," said Bunny. "Maybe she's shut up in the big trunk." "That's dreadful!
