"She can't be coming with eggs," said Mrs. Brown, "for I bought some only yesterday." Mrs. Preston quickly told what she wanted.
"I've come for your two children, Mrs. Brown," she said. "I know how hard it is to keep them cooped up and amused on a rainy day.
"Now over at our house we have a lovely big attic, filled with all sorts of old-fashioned things that the children of our neighbors play with. They can't harm them, and they can't harm themselves. Don't you want to let Bunny and Sue come over to my attic to play?"
"Oh, yes, Mother, please do!" begged Bunny.
"And it's only such a little way that we won't get wet at all," said Sue. "We can wear rubbers and take umbrellas."
"Well, if you're sure it won't be any bother, Mrs. Preston," said Mrs. Brown.
"No bother at all! Glad to have them," answered Mrs. Preston. "Get ready, my dears!"
And Bunny Brown and his sister Sue were soon on their way to have rainy-day fun in an attic.
