I guess wandering tramps must have taken them. I'll get the kiddies new ones." By this time Bunny and Sue were fast asleep, dreaming of the new playthings they were to have. "Ding-dong! Ding-ding! Ding-dong!" rang the breakfast bell in Camp Rest-a-While. Bunny Brown and his sister Sue, snug in their cots, heard it, stirred a bit, turned over, and shut their eyes.
It was beautiful out on the water, and the sun, sinking down behind the hills, made the clouds look as though they were colored blue, pink, purple and golden. Bunny and Sue were almost asleep when the boat was headed back toward shore, and their eyes were tight shut, when daddy and mother lifted them out to carry them up to Camp Rest-a-While.
Camp Rest-a-While was near the edge of the big woods, and in the book called "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue in the Big Woods," which is just before this one, you may read of the adventures with Bunny's train of electric cars, and of the fun Sue had with her electrical Teddy bear, which could flash its eyes when a button was pressed in his back or rather, her back, for Sue had named her Teddy bear Sallie Malinda, insisting that it was a girl bear.
"Oh, goodie!" cried Sue, while Bunny smiled and danced his delight. Finally Camp Rest-a-While was quiet, for every one was in bed and the only noises to be heard were those made by the animals and insects of the wood, an owl now and then calling out: "Who? Who? Who?" just as if it were trying to find some one who was lost.
He was trying to find a way out. Come on back to camp now. Supper is ready and your mother sent me to find you." The next two days it rained, and Bunny and Sue did not have much fun at Camp Rest-a-While. They had to stay in the tents. But the third day it cleared off, and the wind blew away the storm clouds. That afternoon Bunker took Bunny and Sue out in the boat, fishing.
"I can take you back straight through the wood, or around by my cabin, which will put you on the road along which you went to get your milk that night. Then you'll have an easier walk to Camp Rest-a-While, though a little longer one." "Let's go by the road, though it is longer," said Sue. "I'm tired of walking in the woods." "All right, and I'll carry you part of the way," said Mr. Bixby.
You see they were so anxious to find out what it was their mother wanted that they hurried to finish their fun. Bunny Brown and his sister Sue were at Camp Rest-a-While with their father and their mother. They had come from their home in Bellemere to live for a while in the forest, on the shore of Lake Wanda, where they were all enjoying the life in the open air.
In the cooking tent the oil stove was set up and lighted, to make sure it burned well. Then Camp Rest-a-While looked just like its name a place where boys and girls, as well as men and women could come and have a nice rest, near the beautiful lake. When everything was nearly finished, and it was about time to start getting supper, a man came rowing along the shore of the lake in a boat.
The umbrella had a crooked handle, and the tying of one end of the rope around this, helped Bunny to hold the queer sail. The boat now went on faster and faster. "Why, there's our camp, away over there!" cried Sue, pointing. "Why don't you sail to it, Bunny?" Bunny looked. Indeed, the white tents of Camp Rest-a-While were on the other side of the lake far away.
After Bunny and Sue were tucked in their cots, Bunny heard his father and Bunker Blue going about outside the tent. They seemed to be doing something to the ropes. "What are you doing, Daddy?" Bunny asked. "I think there's going to be a storm," answered Mr. Brown, "and I want to be sure the tents won't blow away. I'm making the ropes tight." Pretty soon everyone at Camp Rest-a-While was in bed.
