"And you ought to see Bruno do tricks!" cried Bunny, when it came his turn to tell something.
"Who is Bruno, another tramp?" asked Mrs. Brown.
"He's a dog!" exclaimed Bunny. "And you ought to see him dance!"
"You children seem to have had a better time than your mother or I had," said Mr. Brown, after he had thanked the kind switchman for the care he and his wife had given Bunny and Sue. "We were certainly worried about you."
Mr. and Mrs. Brown paid a little visit to Mrs. Black to thank her, and then it was time for the travelers to resume their journey to Orange Beach, where they expected to spend some time with Mr. Halliday, with whom Daddy Brown had business to talk over.
"Can't we take Toddle?" begged Sue again, as she held Nutty's little cat in her arms.
"No, my dear," answered her mother. "We could not take him to Florida with us."
"I'll keep him here with my dog and cat," offered Mrs. Black.
"And when I see Nutty, as I often do," added the switchman, "I'll tell him where he can get his cat again."
"Well, I s'pose he will want Toddle," sighed Sue. So the pussy was left behind.
