A small boat lay close to the shore, and Bunny's plunge carried him directly into the boat, where, twisted in the string, he lay struggling and helpless. Anna climbed into the boat and picked up "Trit," as she called the rabbit, and patiently and tenderly untied the string from the frightened, panting little captive, talking gently as she did so, until he lay quiet in her hands.
At this Luretta began to laugh, and Anna came nearer to the big chair, and even ventured to rest against its arm. "Luretta, let's you and I go up the trail toward the forest. Perhaps we might find Trit and Trot," she suggested.
"Because I should want you to have the prettiest one, and you would want me to have the prettiest one, and how could we ever choose?" she explained; and Anna acknowledged that perhaps it was better that the rabbits should be alike in every way. After much discussion of names they decided that the rabbits must be called as nearly alike as possible; and so the new pets were named "Trit" and "Trot."
As she ate her porridge her mother questioned her about the adventure of the previous day, and for a time Rebby forgot her own worries in listening to Anna's account of her journey in the leaking boat, and of her leap to safety. "It was not mischief, was it, Mother, to try and capture Trit?" she concluded. "No, indeed, dear child. Who could foresee such an adventure?" replied Mrs. Weston.
"And I am not going to walk home with you, either," and she ran swiftly ahead. Anna did not hurry after her, as Luretta hoped and expected. She began to feel very unhappy. Trit and Trot were gone, and who could tell but the skirts and bonnets might not strangle them?
Monsieur," he continued, leaning forward and putting his hand on my knee, "I think she love me I am not sure. I should not be surprise'. But Monsieur le Marquis, her father, he trit me ver' bad. Monsieur le Marquis is guillotine' now, I mus' not spik evil of him, but he marry her to one ol' garcon, Le Vicomte d'Ivry-le-Tour." "So Mademoiselle is married," I said after a pause.
When Anna came home eager to describe Melvina's new dolls, and to tell of dressing up Trit, and that London Atus, coming into the room where the little girls were playing and seeing the rabbit wearing a white skirt and bonnet, had turned and run out muttering something about "witches," Rebby listened, but with little interest.
Now and then birds flitted past them, and once or twice Anna had a glimpse of startled rabbits, which she was sure were Trit and Trot. "If I could only catch one to give Luretta," she thought, "then she would forgive me for taking the other rabbits," for Anna's thoughts were often troubled because of the loss of Luretta's pets. Mr.
"Here they are," said Anna, as they came to the corner of the shed and saw the rabbits looking out at them between the slats of the box. Melvina kneeled down close to the box and exclaimed admiringly as Trit and Trot scurried away to the farthest corner. "I do wish I could touch one! Would it not be fun to dress them up like dolls!" she said.
Monsieur," he continued, leaning forward and putting his hand on my knee, "I think she love me I am not sure. I should not be surprise'. But Monsieur le Marquis, her father, he trit me ver' bad. Monsieur le Marquis is guillotine' now, I mus' not spik evil of him, but he marry her to one ol' garcon, Le Vicomte d'Ivry-le-Tour." "So Mademoiselle is married," I said after a pause.
