But no one answered, the doors were locked, and the wagon rumbled on faster than before.
"What are we going to do?" asked Sue.
"I don't know," answered Bunny Brown.
On and on rumbled and swayed the wagon, with the two children inside. They found some chairs to sit on, and kept close to one another. Bunny made his way to a window in the side, and tried to look out. But the window was of frosted glass, and he could not see through it. Nor could he push it back or open it. He could hear the horses' feet plainer now, and they seemed to be on a road, and not on the soft grass of the fields or the leafy mould of a forest.
"Where are they taking us?" asked Sue.
"I don't know," answered Bunny Brown again.
After what seemed like many hours to the children, they suddenly heard loud shouts and calls. Who made them they could not tell. Then Bunny, creeping close to the front of the wagon heard the driver snapping his whip, as though trying to make the horses go faster. And then, all at once, Bunny heard a voice say:
"Hold on there! Stop now! Don't try to get away, we've got you!"
A thrill of hope came to Bunny's heart.
"Oh, Sue!" he said, "maybe it's somebody arresting the gypsies!"
