"Candy?" asked Margy, who had not one sweet tooth, it seemed, but several. "Pop-corn balls!" said Mun Bun. "Huh! candy and pop-corn balls would all be wet in the ocean," exclaimed Laddie. By this time Russ came running back with the hammer. Behind him came Cousin Tom, Cousin Ruth and Daddy Bunker.
Mun Bun and Margy and the smaller colored children managed to spread the molasses taffy over face and hands to a greater or less degree; but they enjoyed the taffy pull as much as the older children did. Finally, after Mammy June had washed his face and hands, Mun Bun climbed up into her comfortable lap and went fast asleep.
Russ shouted to the dog. The hound backed out and looked around at Russ Bunker. But his red eyes did not scare the boy. "We're coming, Mun Bun!" Russ shouted. "We're coming, Margy!" The two little ones appeared at the door of the kennel. They were not crying much, but they had tight hold of each other's hands. "Russ! Rose!" cried Margy. "Take us out."
"No'm, I guess nobody's hurt," answered Russ, as he climbed out from the wreck of the barrel. "Get up," he added to his brother Laddie. "I can't," answered Laddie. "My leg's all twisted up in the soap-box." And so it was. A box had been put on one of the chairs, and Mun Bun and Margy had been sitting on that. This box had fallen on Laddie's leg, which was twisted up inside it.
Then came the turn of Margy and Mun Bun, and they liked it more than any one, I guess, and didn't want to get out of the cart. "But Zip is tired now," said Mrs. Bunker. "See how fast he is breathing, and how his tongue hangs out of his mouth," for the dog had been pulling the cart for over an hour. "Get out, Mun and Margy, and you may have another ride after Zip rests."
"The youngsters must have loosened the rope themselves. Or some older children did it, for those two are pretty small," and he looked at Margy and Mun Bun, for the motor-boat was now quite near the drifting rowboat. "All right, Margy! All right, Mun Bun! We'll soon have you back safe!" called Daddy Bunker to them, waving his hands. Both children were crying.
"You wouldn't like goats if they butted you, would you?" asked Vi. "All goats don't butt," said her twin with assurance. "Have those men got goats on that wabbly schooner?" Margy demanded. "I didn't see any." "Of course they haven't," Rose replied. "Then how could they be castaways?" put in Vi promptly. "If castaways have goats " "Oh! you don't understand," declared Russ.
With a sudden wiggle and a twist she crawled all the way under the fruit stand, her little legs, in the white stockings, being the last to disappear. "Oh, catch her! Quick! Catch her!" cried Mrs. Bunker. But it was too late. Margy was out of sight under the fruit stand after the little kitten. When Mr.
"Well, I stopped my machine when I got down the street a way, to take on some more packages," answered the expressman, "and I heard a funny sound. It was like a sneeze." "I did sneeze," said Margy, while Norah was busy smoothing the wrinkles out of her dress. "Some dust got up my nose and I sneezed."
When Mun Bun had said that a bear had come up out of the lake, at first Rose felt she was going to be frightened, but when she saw that her littlest brother and sister were also afraid, Rose made up her mind that she must be brave. She looked at Vi, and Vi was a little frightened, too, but not as much so as Mun Bun and Margy.
