"And I'd like somebody to help me carry over my Lamb," said Mirabell.

"I'll help you," said Dick. "I'll bring over my White Rocking Horse and
your Lamb, Mirabell."

So, as it happened, Herbert's Monkey and Madeline's Candy Rabbit were
the first of the toy friends to be brought into the tent. The Monkey
was on his stick, as Herbert was going to make him do tricks by climbing
up to the top of it, and turning somersaults, as it was intended for the
Monkey to do.

"Do you think my Rabbit and your Monkey will be all right if we leave
them here alone in the tent?" asked Madeline, as the toys were put down
on one of the boxes, and she and her brother started to help the other
children carry in their things.

"Oh yes, they'll be all right," said Herbert.

But he and Madeline had not been very long away, and the Monkey and
Candy Rabbit had not been very long alone in the tent, before something
happened.

All at once, just as the Monkey was thinking of asking the Candy Rabbit
what tricks that sweet chap was going to do in the show, a loud noise
was heard in the tent.

"Baa-a-a-a-!" was what the Rabbit and the Monkey heard.

"Was that you?" asked the Monkey of the Rabbit.
