"Go on with Bunker!" said Bunny to his dog. And, with a final wag of his tail and a good-bye bark, Splash did.
"I'll take care of him. He won't follow you any more," said Bunker, and then he marched off toward the woods, the big dog tagging after.
"Now we can go to the farm," said Bunny, and he and Sue drove on.
They knew the way to the farm, for they had been there many times before, though this was their first visit in the pony cart. Mr. Potter saw them coming up the drive, and called out:
"My! you certainly are coming in style this time. Are you going to buy my place?"
"No, only some butter, if you please," replied Bunny. And while it was being wrapped up he hitched Toby to a post, and then the little boy and girl went into the house, where Mrs. Potter gave them each a glass of sweet milk.
"We have some cookies and things to eat that mother gave us," said Bunny, "but we're going to have a little lunch in the woods going home. We've a lump of sugar for Toby, too."
"My! you're well off!" laughed Mrs. Potter. "Now, there's your butter. Don't spill it on the way home."
"We won't," promised the children, and soon they were driving back again.
"When are we going to eat our lunch?" asked Sue, after a bit.
