"And I'm going to pick orange blossoms!" echoed Sue.
CHAPTER XXI
GOLDEN APPLES
Orange Beach, where Mr. Halliday owned many fruit groves, was the name of a small village. It was almost as small a town as the one in which Mr. Black, the switchman, lived. But Bunny and Sue liked small places. They had seen enough of cities, having passed through many on their railroad journey.
Alighting from the train, the Brown family found Mr. Halliday waiting for them in his motor car, Daddy Brown having telegraphed to tell the time of their arrival.
"Well, you got here at last, I see!" the orange grower exclaimed, as he came up to welcome his guests.
"If Bunny and Sue could have had their way perhaps we wouldn't have come," said Mrs. Brown, with a smile.
"Why not?" asked Mr. Halliday, with a smile.
"Oh, they went for a ride on a freight train," laughed their mother, and then she told of the adventure.
