Her eyes were
bright and shiny, as though she were going to cry. Bunny tried to speak
bravely.
"Sue--we--we're locked in!" he said.
"Oh, Bunny!" she exclaimed. "What are we going to do? Oh! Oh! Oh dear!"
CHAPTER VI
ADRIFT IN A BOAT
Bunny Brown was a brave little chap, even though he was only a bit over
six years old, "going on seven," as he always proudly said. And one of
the matters in which he was braver than anything else was about his
sister Sue.
His mother had often spoken to him about his sister when he and Sue were
allowed to walk up and down in the street, but not to go off the home
block.
"Now, Bunny," Mrs. Brown would say, "take good care of little Sue!"
And Bunny would answer:
"I will, Mother!"
Now was a time when he must look after her and take special care of her.
The first thing he said to Sue was:
"Don't cry, Sister!" Sometimes he called her that instead of Sue.
"I--I'm not going to cry," Sue answered, but, even then, there were
tears in her eyes. "I'm not going to cry, but oh, Bunny, we're locked
in, and there's nobody here----"
"I'm here!" said Bunny quickly.
