Bunny?"

"No'm, pepper--black pepper."

"Oh, yes, black pepper! And it's on a high shelf, too. I wish Philip was
back. He'd reach it down for me. I don't believe he'll get that legacy
after all. Let me see now--pepper--black pepper----"

"Let me get it!" begged Bunny. "I can climb up on a high shelf!"

"So can I!" cried Sue. "I went up on a ladder, after I fell in the
brook, and I got red paint on my dress!"

"My, what a lot of things to happen!" murmured Mrs. Golden, as slowly
and feebly she made her way around the store to the side where she kept
the groceries.

"Let me get the pepper!" begged Bunny, as he saw the old woman looking
toward a top shelf. "I can climb up."

"Well, my dear, if you're sure you won't fall, you may get it," said
Mrs. Golden. "I've got some sort of a thing to reach down packages and
boxes from the high shelf. My boy Philip got it for me. But I can hardly
ever find it when I want it. Be careful now, Bunny."

"I will," said the little fellow, as he began to climb.

Sue watched her brother, thinking over what Mrs. Golden had told them
about a legacy.
