"We won't go out to sea, will we?" Sue questioned.
"No indeed, to your question, Sue," answered her father. "And as to
yours, Bunny, we are anchored safe and sound I hope. Now we can go back
to bed and sleep."
But first Bunny and Sue had to ask many questions, and Sue had to take
off her Teddy bear's water-proof cloak, in spite of which the toy was
wet.
"But it won't hurt her batteries inside or her eyes," said the little
girl.
"And as for her fur, that will soon dry," added Mother Brown.
"She gave us good light," said Father Brown. "Now, off to bed with you."
No one slept very much the rest of the night except the children and the
dogs. Dix and Splash did not think of worrying, and as for Bunny Brown
and his Sister Sue, they thought that whatever Daddy Brown and Uncle Tad
did was just right anyhow. So they had no fear.
Mrs. Brown, her husband, and Uncle Tad did not sleep very soundly,
however. The rain still came down in torrents and the wind blew hard.
The rush of the flood beneath the auto could still be heard. But it came
no higher.
The rope held to the tree, the big car did not drag, and when morning
came the travelers found themselves some distance from the place where
they had been the evening before.
