"I I got around the curve all right, Momsie!" he shouted in glee, and he raised one hand from the wheel to wave it to her. But at that instant the auto gave a wobble, and Bunny had to bring his waving hand back on the wheel to keep the car straight. "Bunny! Bunny!" cried his mother, running down the drive after the machine. "Where are you going?" "I I don't know," he called back to her.
Sue pointed, and Bunny saw a tall lad, who did look very much like the runaway boy, at the back door of the Ward home. "Oh, let's tell daddy and momsie!" cried Bunny, as he and his sister, in their bare feet, pattered their way downstairs. Bunny and Sue raced downstairs and burst into the sitting room where their mother and father were sitting. "Oh, Daddy!" cried Bunny.
She, too, made a funny face, and then she asked: "Where did you get the jar of mince-meat, Sue?" "From the cupboard where you told me, Momsie, next to the glass jar of peaches." "On which side of the jar of peaches?" "Let me see it was the side I write my letters with my right hand, Mother." "Oh dear!" cried Mrs. Brown. "I should have told you! But the egg woman came just then.
I'm happy that my girl has got herself up in the world with a fine upright boy like Lester; only you can't understand, babe, till you've got something of your own flesh and blood that belongs to you, that I I couldn't feel anything except that a piece of my heart was going if if it was a king you was marrying." "Now, momsie, it's not like I was moving a thousand miles away.
"If Dix hasn't gone off to find a cow or an elephant or a camel or something like that to make us a present of," said Mrs. Brown with a laugh. "Oh, Momsie! Do you think Dix would really bring back an elephant?" asked Bunny eagerly. "No, my dear, I was only fooling. But let's start back, Daddy, for I know Sue will be very anxious to-night about her Teddy bear."
That is how Splash got his name from splashing into so many puddles. But this time the water was from a clean brook that ran over green, mossy stones, and it did Sue's dress no harm, for she had on one that Mrs. Brown had made purposely for wearing in the woods. "Here we are, Momsie!" called Sue, as she and Bunny came running up to the camp where the tents were.
Haven't you made a mistake? She must be Betty she said so." "My darlings, I'm sorry to be late," said a new voice, a rich, sweet contralto, and a stout woman with a kindly, florid face swept through the doorway. "Why, what is the matter?" she demanded hurriedly, confronting the tense group. "Momsie!" exclaimed Bobby, hurling herself upon the newcomer. "Oh, Momsie, isn't this Betty Littell?
We ought to be sorry." "Well I am," said Bunny. "I'm sorry for them, but I'm glad for myself that I'm going to see the fire. Is that all right, Momsie?" "I guess so," answered Mrs. Brown, and then she hurried on to the fire with the children, while Uncle Tad raced ahead with the red fire-cracker extinguishers. Over the fields, from other farmhouses, people came running.
"It certainly is a great pity she was not invited, but it is too late now. An invitation sent two hours before the ceremony would be an insult indeed." "Not if the bride herself took it!" exclaimed Juliet impulsively. "I'll go myself to Cousin Corona, and ask her to come to my wedding." "Go yourself! Child, you can't do such a thing! In that dress...." "Go I must, Momsie.
Bunny, listening at the outer door of the big car, heard above the noise of the flood and the rain, his father say this. For a moment he was frightened, then he happened to think: "Well, I've got rubber boots, and if the water comes in here I can wade around and get things. But I guess I won't tell Sue and Momsie about it. They might be scared."
