Reinberg came out of the post-office. He was in such a hurry that he
never thought about Bunny and Sue's having asked him for a ride. He just
shut the door of the car, took his place at the steering wheel and away
he went. He did not see the children sitting down in the bottom, partly

that it was night on their make-believe steamer, and they had "gone to
bed."

imagined Mr. Reinberg was taking them to their house so they might ask
their mother if they could go for a ride.
Bunny looked at Sue and said:
