"Where do you think we shall stop for the night?" asked Mrs. Brown of
her husband as they set off once more.
"Just outside the town of Freeburg," he answered. "We'll sleep in the
auto, of course, for if we are making a tour this way it's the proper
thing to do. But we'll be near enough a town for supplies or anything we
may need."
"Goodness! We don't need anything this soon, nor have we a place to put
another thing away," protested Mrs. Brown.
Her husband laughed. "However, it's well to be near a town overnight,"
he said.
So the big automobile chugged on. Mrs. Brown and Uncle Tad washed the
dishes and put them away, and then they sat looking out at the side
windows and enjoying the trip. Now and then Mr. 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. Both of them together took up no
more room than one grown person, and the front seat was built large
enough for two.
