Are you going to have washboilers and tin pans?" "No, I guess not," said Bunny, after thinking about it a moment. "We'll keep a store like Mrs. Golden's." "Yes, that will be nice," agreed Sue. "Here, Splash!" she cried. "Get out of there! That box isn't for you to sleep in!" For the big dog had crawled into one of the boxes that were to form the store shelves.
"I think a grocery is more fun," said Sue. "Nope! A hardware store is better," Bunny insisted. "I'll sell you washboilers, basins, tin pans and things like that, and knives and forks.

"I'll make a high-up shelf, like those in the hardware store down town," went on Bunny.
Ladders were placed against the eaves, and a line of men with buckets were pouring water on the roof.

I adore your laugh, Derry, though I shouldn't be telling you, should I ? I have pasted the picture you sent me of you and Tommy in my memory book and have written under it, 'When you and I were young, Tommy' and I've drawn a cloud of steam above Tommy, with washboilers and tubs and cabbages and soap suds, and his mother's face smiling in the midst of it all . And in your cloud is your mother smiling, too, with her little crown on her head, and gold spoons for a border and a frosted cake with candles and a mountain of ice-cream.
Kettles and washboilers full of coffee, slabs of bacon sizzling in great pans, and, one after another, into the hot grease slid a case of eggs. Home-baked bread was sliced into a washtub. Shaking with cold, coat collars turned up, shawls and blankets wrapped about them, tired, hollow-eyed and disheveled, the seekers looked like a banished people fleeing from persecution.
