CHAPTER III
WANGO, THE MONKEY
Aunt Lu hurried over to the kitchen table, at which she had been helping
Mrs. Brown make the lobster salad. She looked among the dishes, and
knives and forks, but shook her head.
"No, it isn't there," she said, quite sadly.
"What isn't? What is the matter?" asked Mrs. Brown, who came in from the
dining room just then. "Can't you find the big lobster claw that Bunny
wanted? I laid it----"
"Oh, I have it, Mother, thank you," the little boy said. "But Aunt Lu
has lost----"
"It's my diamond ring--Jack's engagement ring," said Mrs. Brown's
sister. "It must have slipped off my finger, and----"
"Oh dear! That's too bad!" said Mrs. Brown. "But it must be around here
somewhere. We'll find it!"
Bunny and Sue hardly knew what to make of it all. They had never seen
their Aunt Lu so worried.
"Mother, what's an engagement ring?" asked Sue, in a whisper, as Aunt Lu
kept on looking among the things on the table, hoping her diamond might
have dropped off there. Then she looked on the floor.
