"And we had a good time," Bunny went on.
"And now the automobile man wants some money, and we haven't any so you must pay him, Mother," said Sue.
"We—we thought we were riding for nothing," Bunny explained.
Mrs. Brown and Aunt Lu looked at the automobile man, who smiled, and told how the children had called to him, and asked him to give them a long ride.
"Which I did," he said. "I thought their folks had maybe sent them to get the air, as folks often do here, and—"
"Oh, it isn't your fault," said Mrs. Brown. "I'll pay you for the children's ride, of course. But oh, dear! Bunny, you musn't do this again."
"No'm, I won't," Bunny said. "But we had a nice ride."
Mrs. Brown gave the taxicab man some money, and thanked him for having taken good care of the children. Then Wopsie did not have to go to tell the policeman, for Bunny and Sue were safe home again.
"I wonder what they'll do next?" said Mrs. Brown.
"No one knows," answered Aunt Lu.
