ter you,
so suppose you stay with me till we see if your grandpa is here. He
wouldn't go home without you, that much I know."

Sunny Boy felt better, with a tall, kindly old gentleman to walk about
with him, but he wished that they could find Grandpa Horton before his
feet were too cold to walk on. And then, just as he was sure his shoes
were frozen fast to his toes, he saw dear Grandpa Horton!

"Grandpa!" he shouted. "Here I am, Grandpa! We've been looking all
over for you."

"And I've been about crazy, looking for you," said Grandpa Horton,
hurrying up to them. "Are you all right, Sunny Boy? Are you cold?
Are you wet? How did you get ashore?"

The other grandfather laughed again as he shook hands with Grandpa
Horton.

"He's all right, though I suspect his feet are pretty wet," he said.
"I would have bundled him off home, but I knew you would be terribly
anxious and I couldn't pick you out of the crowd without his help.
You'd better hurry, now. I'm going to get out of this crowd as soon as

Grandpa Horton thanked the old gentleman for taking care of Sunny Boy
and then they shook hands again and Sunny Boy and his grandpa hurried

Dear, dear, there was a great deal of excitement, you may be sure, when
Sunny Boy and Grandpa told what had happened at the pond. Harriet
brought hot water bottles and dry shoes and stockings and hot lemonade
and her best box of peppermint drops. Grandma Horton insisted on
wrapping Sunny Boy from chin to feet in a hot blanket and she made
Grandpa take little white pills. Mother Horton rubbed their hands and
lighted the electric heater, although the room was very warm and
comfortable, and put on all the wood in the fire-basket till the
fireplace was ablaze with flames.

And all this loving care and attention agreed with both Sunny Boy and
Grandpa Horton, for neither one of them took the tiniest bit of cold
and they were all right again the next day. Sunny Boy said he knew it
was the peppermint drops, and Harrie
