"It just did itself," said the small boy. "I climbed up on the seat, and
made believe I was steering, just like you or daddy, when, all of a
sudden, off she went. I 'most busted down a tree, but I didn't really.
And I went all around the house. I guess now daddy will let me steer the
car out on the road."

"Not for a few days yet," said Bunker Blue with a laugh.

"Mr. Brown told me to tell you," he went on to Mrs. Brown, "that he
would go a day earlier than he counted on, if you could get ready."

"It won't take me long to pack," said Mrs. Brown. "But why didn't he
telephone?"

"Our machine is out of order. The men are fixing it, and anyhow I had to
come up this way."

"Well, I'm glad you came in time," said Mrs. Brown, as she led Bunny
back to the house. "You are very good, Bunker."

"Yes, and I want you to show me how to stop that electric starter when
it starts to start," said Bunny.

"Some day--maybe," promised Bunker, smiling.

"Well, if we're going sooner, I'll have to hurry up and get my things
packed," said Bunny. "Have you got yours, Sue?"

"Most of 'em. You ought to see how bright my Teddy bear's eyes shine
since daddy put new batteries inside Sallie Malinda," rattled on Sue.
