"And so am I!" cried Bunny.
As has been said, there was a tent carried on top of the Ark, and this
was now taken down by the old soldier and carried to the wood, there to
be set up for Bunny and Sue. The tent was large enough for the children
to sleep in if they wanted to. In fact, they had done so once or twice.
But their mother was not sure they would do so on this trip.
However, the tent was put up and the little folding cots made ready,
while Bunny brought his popgun and cannon with which to play soldier,
and Sue, her Teddy bear and set of dishes with which to play
keeping-house.
By the time this was done Mr. Brown had come back from the village,
bringing some chocolate candy for the children. He said he had seen an
automobile dealer and it would take fully a week to get a new spring for
the "Ark."
They had their dinner out-of-doors, and after that Bunny and Sue played
games in the tent. They said they were surely going to sleep in it at
night, so they made up the cots and took their little pajamas with them
into the canvas house.
"I'll have my flashlight, too," said Bunny; "and in case we want to get
up in the night to get a drink, Sue, we can do it easy."
"That'll be nice," said his sister.
