This was soon done, and on this shelf the big tin washboiler was placed, and also some tin pans from the pantry. Bunny climbed up on the stepladder to put the shelf and things in place. Other articles for a hardware play-store were placed on the lower ironing board shelf, and then Bunny was ready for "Mrs. Snifkins" to come again.
Snifkins?" asked Grocer Huntley, when Sue had put the things in her basket. "Yes, that's all," Sue answered, placing two large black buttons on the ironing board counter and getting back in change a small white button. Sue went out with her "groceries," and soon came back for more.
"You must come and buy something, Sue." "Yes. And then I want to keep store," said the little girl. "All right," her brother agreed. Bunny took his place behind the counter and waited. Sue went out into the hall, paused a moment, and then, with a little basket over her arm, came walking in, as much like a grown-up lady as she could manage. "Good morning, Mrs. Snifkins!" exclaimed Bunny.
He always called Sue "Mrs. Snifkins" when they kept store. "Oh, good morning, Mr. Huntley," Sue replied. She always called her brother "Mr. Huntley," when they kept store. Perhaps this was because he used to pretend to hunt for things on the make-believe shelves. "What can I do for you this morning, Mrs. Snifkins?" asked Bunny, rubbing his hands as he had seen Mr. Gordon, the real grocer, do.
