"Too much for you, old gal," got to be an exclamation so wonderfully consoling that, it crept into my sleep, and in those halcyon days I often waked up by the side of Malinda Jane, muttering the words, "Too much for you, old gal." Waked up, I think I said. Ah! would I had never waked up, particularly on the dismal clouds which for a season darkened my domestic sunshine!
"I'm going to put darling Sallie Malinda to sleep," said Sue after a while. "And I'm going to let her sleep near the back door of the car." "Why?" asked Bunny, who was very fond of asking questions. "She isn't feeling very well, and the air will do her good," answered Sue, who made her "make-believe" very real to herself.
Brown would talk in through the open window against which the steering wheel seat was built. Bunny and his sister sometimes rode inside, and again outside with Daddy Brown. "This is lots of fun, I think," said Bunny, as he sat beside his father, and the auto went rather fast down a hill. "It's just great! My Sallie Malinda Teddy bear likes it, too," put in Sue, who was also on the front seat.
This they did, and even Splash joined in. But though they slid all over the hay, and kept a sharp lookout for any more parts of Bunny's train, they found nothing. "I wish I could find part of my Teddy bear," said Sue. "If you did that your Sallie Malinda wouldn't be much good," said Bunny. "For you can take an electrical train apart and put it together again, and it isn't hurt.
But I did not see Dix with him, though I didn't think anything about it at the time. We had that trouble with the engine farther back than that. When I got that fixed Dix was about. But from then on I haven't seen him, and that was some miles back." "Maybe that's the time my dear Sallie Malinda fell out," said Sue. "Or else Dix took her." "I don't believe he'd do that," said her father.
"But the thorns catch in the fuzzy wool of Sallie Malinda and scratch her. I've got to go slower than you." "All right we wait for you," said Eagle Feather, who had heard what Sue said. "No hurry from little gal," he said to Bunny. "Maybe her medicine better for finding cow as yours, though me think yours very much stronger medicine. Maybe we see byemby."
Brown were not yet awake. Mrs. Brown, however, soon heard the children moving about and she called to them: "What's the matter?" "Sue's doll is gone," said Bunny. "My nice Teddy bear one," added Sue. "He's gone off to find a bee's nest to get honey," went on Bunny. "My bear ain't a 'he' she's a 'she," declared Sue. "And her name is Sallie Malinda."
"But my Teddy bear Sallie Malinda can only make-believe walk!" exclaimed Sue. "She can only make-believe eat honey, too." "Then we'll look for a make-believe honey-tree," said Bunny. "Come on, Sue!" Sue seemed to hold back. "Come on!" cried Bunny again, always ready to start something. "Let's get dressed and go to hunt for the Teddy bear." It was very early, and Mr. and Mrs.
They lean over the edge of a river and pull the fish out with their claws. Bears likes fish." "But my Sallie Malinda isn't a real bear," said Sue. "You could make believe he was," insisted Bunny. "And if you put his paw in the water, and sort of let it dingle-dangle, a fish might bite at it." "She," sighed Sue. "But just as if I'd let a fish bite my nice Teddy bear! Besides, I haven't got her."
Butterby embrace your poor ol' father 'n law." Of the conclusion of this episode, I fear I am somewhat confused. I have an indistinct recollection that Mrs. Lawk and Malinda Jane were both carried off in a fainting condition; and that my enthusiastic friends gave three rousing cheers for Alderman Lawk, and three more for me.
