"Oh, where can he be?" exclaimed Janet.
"We'll find him," declared Teddy.
He saw that Janet was almost ready to cry.
"Help me look, children," said Mrs. Martin. "He may be in one of the rooms here. We must look in every one."
So the search began.
The Curlytops and their mother had gone through about half the rooms of the house without finding Trouble when Uncle Frank and Aunt Jo came back.
"Did you find him?" they asked Baby William's mother.
"No," she answered. Then she asked eagerly: "Did you?"
"He hadn't been to any of the neighbors' houses where we inquired," said Uncle Frank.
"Dick is going to ask farther down," added Aunt Jo. "I think he said at a house where a little boy named Henry lives."
