"That
is Bunny Brown and his sister Sue. They live just up the street. I'll
take them home."
"Thank you; that's very kind of you," said the man. "I guess their folks
must be worrying about them. Please take them home."
"We don't want to go home!" exclaimed Sue. "We want to see the pictures;
don't we, Bunny?"
"Yes," answered the little fellow, "but maybe we'd better go and get
Aunt Lu."
"I think so myself," laughed the usher. "You can come some other time,
youngsters. But bring your aunt, or your mother, with you; and don't
come in the side door. I'll have to keep some one there, if it's going
to be open, or I'll have more tots walking in without paying."
"Come the next time, with your aunt or mother," he went on, "and I'll
give you free tickets. It won't cost you even a penny!"
"Oh, goodie!" cried Sue. She was willing to go home now, and the lady
who said she knew them--who was a Mrs. Wakefield, and lived not far from
the Brown home--took Bunny and Sue by the hands and led them out of the
theatre.
The lights were turned low again, and the moving picture show went on.
