As the little girl was taking some from the cup the train gave a sudden swing to one side, and, the first thing Sue knew, the water had splashed up in her face, and down over her dress.
"Oh—oh, Mother!" gasped Sue. "I—I didn't mean to do that."
"No, you couldn't help it," said Mrs. Brown. "It was the train that made you do it. Water won't hurt your dress."
Mrs. Brown sat down, after wiping the drops off Sue's skirt and face. She was beginning to read a book when Bunny, who had been looking out of his window, called:
"Mother, I'm thirsty. I want a drink!"
"Oh, Bunny dear! Why didn't you tell me that when I was getting one for Sue?"
"'Cause, Mother, I wasn't thirsty then."
Mrs. Brown smiled. Then she once more went down to the end of the car and got Bunny a drink. By this time the train had stopped at a station, so the car was not "jiggling" as Sue called it. And Bunny did not spill his cup of water.
For some time after this the two children sat quietly in their seats.
"I just saw a cow!" Sue called back to her brother.
