"That's what it will!" said Bunny Brown.
The place to take the boat for Coney Island was two or three blocks from the restaurant where they had eaten lunch. Bunny and Sue walked behind Mother Brown and Aunt Lu along the street to the boat-dock.
"This is just like home," said Bunny as he saw the water-front, with many boats tied up along the docks, just as they were at his father's pier at home.
Sue liked it, too. There were many things to see. In one window the children saw a number of monkeys, and birds with brightly colored feathers.
"Oh, let's stop and look at them!" cried Sue. Bunny was willing, so they stood looking in the window. Mrs. Brown and Aunt Lu, thinking the children were coming right along, walked on. And it was not until they were ready to cross the street that the mother and aunt missed the little ones.
"Why, where can they have gone?" cried Mrs. Brown, looking all around.
"Oh, they're just walking slowly, behind us," Aunt Lu said. "We'll go back and find them."
She and her sister walked back, but they could not see Bunny and Sue.
"Oh, where are they?" cried Mrs. Brown. "My children are lost! Lost in New York! Oh dear!"
