"It will wash out," said her brother. "You might go down and wade in the
brook. But we couldn't, without asking mother, and then she'd see you
anyhow."
"Oh, I'll tell her!" exclaimed Sue. "We'd better go in, 'cause if egg-
stuff dries on you it's awful hard to get off. Aunt Lu said so when she
baked a cake yesterday."
"Well, we can come back and slide some more."
"Yes, after I get clean. And we'll have to tell Mrs. Gordon, too; won't
we, Bunny?"
"Oh, yes. But she has lots of hens and eggs, so she won't care."
Mrs. Brown and Aunt Lu were much surprised when Bunny Brown and his
sister Sue came in, Sue all white and yellow from the eggs. But Sue's
mother knew it was something that could not be helped, so she did not
scold. She changed Sue's dress, and then she said:
"Now you and Bunny run over and tell Mrs. Gordon."
When the grocery-store-keeper's wife saw Bunny and Sue coming over to
her house she thought perhaps their mother had sent them on an errand,
as Mrs. Brown often did.
