"Mother!" interrupted Bunny, speaking in a low voice. "Yes, Son!" answered Mrs. Brown. "But run away now, dear. Mother is very busy. I'll speak to you in just a minute." "But we want to talk about the show, Mother," persisted Bunny. "Oh, but I haven't time," said Mrs. Brown with a smile. "You saw the show, and that's enough. Now run away, like a good boy. And you and Sue must soon get ready for bed." "But it's about another show, Mother!" insisted Bunny. "We heard what you said, Sue and I did--and we want to help you get more money." "Isn't that sweet of them!" exclaimed Mrs. Bentley. "Well, our Red Cross Chapter certainly needs money," remarked Mrs. Brown, with a sigh; "but I'm afraid you can't help us any, Bunny." "Oh, yes we can!" said Sue. "Why, what are you children thinking of?" asked Mrs. Brown, in some surprise. "How can you help us get money for the Red Cross?" "By a show!" cried Bunny, and he almost shouted the words he was so excited. "That's what we're going to do, Mother--give a show--me and Sue--I mean Sue and I," he added quickly, as he saw his mother look strangely at him, for she had often told him he must learn to speak correctly. |
