“It’ll take us quite a while to fix up the platform, anyhow,” said George. “We’ll let you see it when we get it fixed so Wango and Patter swing on it.”
“All right,” agreed Sue.
As Sue and her mother started from the barn Mary, the maid, came out and said:
“Oh, Mrs. Brown, there are a lot of ladies in the parlor waiting to see you. They’re from the church.”
“Goodness! I forgot that they were coming,” said Mrs. Brown. “They said they would call to talk about the church fair.”
“What church fair, Mother?” asked Sue.
“One we are getting up,” her mother answered. “We are trying to raise money for the poor, and we are going to have a fair and entertainment in the opera house. I must go in and talk to the ladies about it.”
“Oh, Mother, wait a minute!” called Bunny.
“Well, what is it, little son? I am in a hurry.”
“Mother, if you have a church fair we could have Patter do tricks at it and that would make a lot of money for you!” went on Bunny. “Couldn’t we have the trick dog at the fair?”
