CHAPTER XV
TICKETS FOR THE SHOW
Back and forth across the snow-covered yard ran Mr. Treadwell, and after him went Splash, the dog, holding to the flying coat-tails of the actor.
"Splash! Splash! Come here to me!" cried Bunny. But the dog did not obey.
"Oh, Mother, come quick!" called Sue. "Our dog is going to eat Mr. Treadwell all up!"
Splash, indeed, did seem very angry, for he barked and growled. He growled more than he barked, for he could not open his mouth wide enough to bark when he was holding to the coat.
Mrs. Brown rushed to the kitchen door, and she was as much surprised as the children were at what she saw.
"Oh, call some one! Get some man to make Splash let Mr. Treadwell alone!" cried Sue.
The actor, with the dog still clinging to him, was running toward the children now, and, to his surprise, Bunny saw that Mr. Treadwell was laughing.
