much that
they quite forgot to be polite, as they nearly always were.

"I'm going to be at the window," said Sue.

"No, I am!" cried Bunny.

"Children, children!" said Mrs. Brown softly. "Be nice now. I will let
you each have a seat by yourself, then you may each sit by a window. You
must not be so impatient about it."

The car was not crowded, and there was plenty of room for Bunny and Sue
to have each a seat by a window. Mrs. Brown also sat in a seat by
herself behind the two little ones. She had seen that the windows were
not raised high enough for Bunny or Sue to put out their heads.

"And you must not put out your arms, or hands, either," she said. "You
might be hit by a post or something, and be hurt. Keep your hands and
arms in."

Bunny and Sue were quite happy now, for they loved to travel, as most
children do. Then, too, they were going to Aunt Lu's in the big city of
New York, and would have lots of good times there. They had said
good-bye to all their little friends, and to old Miss Hollyhock. The
poor old lady had found the groceries on her doorstep, and she was very
thankful for them.

"I hope when you get old, and poor and hungry, you'll have some one to
be kind to you," she had said to Bunny and Sue, when she found out it

"Oh, we're never going to be poor!" Sue had said. "Our papa will buy us
things to eat. He buys us ice cream cones; don't he Bunny?"

"Yes, dear, and I hope he will always be with you, to look after you,"
said old Miss Hollyhock.

Bunny and Sue had also said good-bye to Uncle Tad, to Mrs. Redden who
kept the candy store, and to Mr. and Miss Winkler. Nor did they forget
to say good-bye to Wango, the monkey.

"We won't see any monkeys in the city," said Sue.

"Yes we will," cried Bunny. "We'll see 'em in the Zoo. And they have
hand-organ monkeys in cities, Sue."

"Maybe they do," she said.

And now, as the two children were riding in the train, they talked of
what they saw from the windows, and also of the friends they had left
behind in Bellemere, not forgetting Wango, the monkey.

"Mother, I want a drink of water," said Sue, after a while. "I'm
thirsty."

"All right, I'll get you a drink," said Mrs. Brown. In her bag she had a
little drinking cup, that closed up, "like an accordion," as Bunny
said. And, taking this out, Mrs. Brown walked to the end of the car
where the water was kept in a tank, to get Sue a drink.

As the littl
