y, on grandpa's farm, or near the water in Bellemere, as Bunny and
Sue soon found. But they had many good times at Aunt Lu's, though they
were different from those at home. One thing about being in the country,
at grandpa's, or at their own home, was that Bunny and Sue could run out
alone and look for fun. In New York they were only allowed to go on the
street in front of Aunt Lu's house alone. Of course if Aunt Lu, or
Mother Brown, or even Wopsie went with them, the children could go
farther up or down the street.

"Let's see if we can go out and find Wopsie's aunt to-day," said Bunny
to Sue, after they had eaten breakfast.

"All right," agreed the little girl. "Where'll we look?"

"Oh, down in the street," said Bunny. "We'll ask all the colored people
we meet if they have lost a little girl. And we could ask at a police
station, too, if we knew where there was one."

"Yes," said Sue, "we might ask at the station where we was tooken, after
we saw the monkeys and parrots in the animal store."

"But we don't know where that police station is," Bunny said. "I guess
we'd just better ask in the street."

Bunny and Sue were quite in earnest about finding little Wopsie's aunt
for her. For they wanted to make the little colored girl happy.

And, strange as it may seem, Bunny and Sue had asked many colored
persons they met, if they wanted a little lost colored girl. Bunny and
Sue did not think this was at all strange, for they were used to doing,
and saying, just what they pleased, as long as it was not wrong.

Of course some colored men and women did not know what to make of the
queer questions Bunny and Sue asked, but others replied to them kindly,
and said they were sorry, but that they had not lost any little colored
girl.

"But we'll find Wopsie's aunt some time," said Bunny, and Sue thought
they might. So now, having nothing else to do to "have fun," as they
called it, Bunny and Sue started to go down to the street.

"Don't go away from in front of the house!" their mother called to them.

"We won't," Bunny promised.

Henry, the colored elevator boy, took them down in his car.

"We're going to find Wopsie's aunt," said Bunny.

"Well, I hopes you do," replied Henry. For, all this while, though Aunt
Lu had tried her best, nothing could be found of any "folks" for the
little colored girl. She still lived with Aunt Lu, helping keep the
apartment in order, and looking after Bunny and Sue.
