"Are we going to stay in the auto while we're here?" asked Bunny, for
Mr. Brown had said they would probably remain in Portland for nearly a
week, as he had several matters to look after.
"No, I'll give you a chance to stretch your legs," said his father.
"We'll store the automobile in a garage and you can live at a hotel
while I'm getting my business in shape."
"But what about Dix and Splash?" asked Bunny. "Where can they stay?"
"Oh, we'll find a hotel with a garage attached to it, and leave the dogs
there in charge of the 'Ark,'" said Mr. Brown.
"And what about finding Fred?" Sue queried. She, as well as Bunny, was
greatly interested in the missing boy.
"Oh, I'll do all I can to find him," promised Mr. Brown.
A hotel, with a garage attached to it, was easily found in Portland, and
as the "Ark" went through the streets many persons turned to look at it.
But Bunny and Sue did not mind this in the least.
"They'll think we're a new kind of gypsy," said Bunny.
"And they'll all wish they was us, riding around this way," said Sue,
as she laughed with Bunny.
"'They was us.' Oh, Sue!" groaned her mother.
Dix and Splash did not like very much being left alone in the garage,
and they whined and barked as they were chained near the auto.
