SURPRISING OLD MISS HOLLYHOCK
"Aren't we having a fine ride, Bunny?"
"Hush, Sue! Not so loud! He'll hear us!" whispered the little boy, as he and his sister cuddled down in among the boxes and baskets in the grocery wagon.
"But it is a nice ride; isn't it?"
"It sure is, Sue." Bunny laughed in a sort of whisper, so Tommie, the boy who drove the wagon, would not hear him. And, so far, Tommie had no idea that he was taking with him Bunny and Sue.
The two children had no idea where they were going. They often did things like that, without thinking, and sometimes they were sorry afterward. But it had seemed all right to them to get into the wagon for a ride.
"We won't go very far," Bunny went on, in another whisper, after a bit. "We'll just ride around the block, and then get out."
"Will we have to walk home?" Sue asked.
"Maybe Tommie will drive us back," said Bunny. "He's real good, you know."
"I'd rather ride than walk," said Sue.
