From the first suffocating whiff of this aromatic cordial do I date the commencement of my grief. Malinda Jane, I knew, never indulged in as much as a sip of Cologne: so, convinced that the breach of discipline was the guilty act of a servant, with all the offended dignity I could embody in my deportment, I went straight to the chamber of my wife.
Both she and Bunny were looking at the waterfall closely. Then Sue began to wrap a shawl, which she had brought along, over her Teddy bear. "What's the matter?" asked Mother Brown. "It's like rain all over Sallie Malinda," answered the little girl. "I don't want her to catch cold, for she might not shine her 'lectric eyes any more."
"What are you doing that for?" asked Sue in surprise. "We aren't playing any game." "I know it. But I'm looking for the marks of the bear's tracks in the mud, just as Eagle Feather looked for the hoof prints of his lost cow in the sand. He found his cow that way, and maybe we'll find Sallie Malinda this way." "But his cow was bigger than my Teddy bear, and made bigger tracks."
Brown they had had no luck in finding the person who had taken Sue's Teddy bear. For that the toy with the electric eyes had been taken away and had not walked off by herself was now believed, even by Bunny, who had at first insisted that Sallie Malinda had been hungry and had gone off to find honey.
Disappointed in finding water at these islands, they sailed to Malinda island, and sent their boats on shore, to discover if there was any water, or if there were any inhabitants.. They returned with the information, that there was abundance of water, that the houses were only inhabited by women and children, the men having fled at the appearance of the ships.
But I'm going to take Sallie Malinda," declared Sue. While she was getting it out from among her playthings, Bunny went out to look at the big automobile again. He climbed up to the seat. Bunker Blue, after bringing it up to the Brown house so Mrs. Brown could pack in it the things she wanted, had gone back to the dock.
I don't know what I'd do without Sallie Malinda." "All right, then we'll turn the auto around." "We've done about as much going backward as we have going forward on this trip," laughed Uncle Tad. "But still we must get Sue's pet. It wouldn't do to go off and leave her." "I can't understand about Dix, though," said Mrs. Brown.
"We can have lots of fun," said Sue. "Yes. But anyway I want my train back," declared Bunny. "And I want Sallie Malinda!" exclaimed Sue with a sigh. "She was just like a real baby bear to me." "Why don't you call a Teddy bear he?" asked Bunny. "'Cause she's a girl. Can't you tell by the name Sallie Malinda?" asked Sue.
Bunny kept on searching about the tents for his missing toy, and Sue played with her Teddy Bear, tying her on the back of Splash, the dog, to make believe Sallie Malinda was having a pony ride. When Father Brown and Uncle Tad came back the children ran eagerly to them. Mr. Brown shook his head.
Reflecting that people do not get married every day, and appalled at the terrible conclusions with which the mind would distract itself by pondering so alarming a topic, I shudderingly abandoned it, and assisted Malinda Jane and her ma, in a fainting condition, to the carriage. It is needless to say that the cobbler was at once given in charge to a policeman.
