“Some time, I guess—maybe,” answered Mrs. Brown. But she was so busy that she hardly knew what she was saying.
CHAPTER V
AT THE HOSPITAL
Bunny and Sue were so fond of playing and had so many things to do, and their chums came into the yard and they all had such good times playing steamboat again, that the little boy and girl did not think much more about Mr. Pott and his missing son and treasure. In fact, Bunny and Sue did not again remember about Mr. Pott until one day when they happened to be out under one of the apple trees on which the fruit was still green, for this was early summer.
Then, as Bunny saw some of the fruit which had been blown by the wind down on the ground, a sudden idea came to him.
“Oh, Sue!” he cried. “I know what we can do!”
“What?” asked the little girl, always ready to follow the lead of her brother.
“We can go to the hospital!” announced Bunny.
“Why do we want to go to the hospital?” asked Sue. “You aren’t sick and I don’t need a doctor.”
“We can go to the hospital to see Mr. Pott,” went on Bunny. “Always, when anybody is sick, people go to the hospital to see them—I mean well people, and we’re well. We can take things to the hospital for Mr. Pott.”
“What can we take him?” asked Sue, falling in with the idea.
