"Yes," he answered. "Orange blossoms."
"Orange blossoms! How lovely!" cried the children's mother. "Where from?"
"Florida. Mr. Halliday sent them. He's down there on an orange farm, and I may have to go down myself."
"South," answered his father.
"To Florida where the orange blossoms grow?" asked Sue eagerly, as her mother was opening the box.
"Well, we may get to Florida. But first I shall have to go to Georgia," answered Mr. Brown.
"Oh, take us!" cried Bunny and Sue. "Please take us!"
"We'll see," said Mr. Brown, with a look at his wife. "We'll talk it over after supper. Let's look at the orange blossoms now."
While Mother Brown was opening the box there came a noise at the side door as though some one were trying to break it open by pounding on it.
