Down and down and down, with a lot of hay all around her, and out of sight of Bunny Brown, who was still on the trapeze, went sister Sue.
CHAPTER XVIII
MR. TREADWELL'S WIG
Bunny Brown, swinging by his knees from the trapeze, had just one little look at his sister Sue, and then he didn't see her again. At first Bunny thought perhaps he had fallen asleep and had dreamed that he had seen Sue. So many things had happened since he climbed up on the funny swing that it would not have surprised Bunny to have learned that he had fallen asleep and dreamed.
But a moment later he heard Sue's voice, and then Bunny felt sure it was not a dream. For as Sue slipped and fell down a deep hole, together with a lot of hay, she called:
"Oh, oh! Oh, Bunny! Oh, Mother! Oh, Daddy!"
She wanted all three of them to help her and she didn't know which one she wanted most.
"Oh, Sue! Sue!" cried Bunny, as soon as he felt sure it was his sister he had seen and not a dream. "Sue! Come and help me!"
"Somebody's got to help me!" half sobbed Sue, and her voice seemed very faint and far away.
