"Then you can all come to my Aunt Lu's house to-morrow afternoon," Sue went on. "I'll tell her you're coming."
"Where is it?" asked the big girl.
Sue felt in her pocket and brought out one of Aunt Lu's cards, which Miss Baker had given the little girl in case she became lost.
"That's our address," said Sue. "You come there to-morrow afternoon, and we'll have a real party. I'm pleased to have met you," and with a polite bow, saying what she had often heard her mother say on parting from a new friend, Sue turned away.
"Will you an' your brother be there?" the big, ragged girl wanted to know.
"Yes," said Bunny. "I'll be there, and so will Wopsie."
"Is she Wopsie?" asked the big girl, pointing to the colored piccaninny.
"Dat's who I is!" Wopsie exclaimed. "But dat's only mah make-believe name. Mah real one am Sallie Jefferson. Dat name was on de card pinned to me, but de address was tored off."
"Well, Sallie or Wopsie, it's all de same to me," said the big girl. "We'll see you at de party!"
