"You tell him what to do," said Bunker. "He'll mind you better than he will me."
"Find Sue, Splash! Find Sue!" said Bunny.
Splash barked again, looked up into Bunny's face, as if to make sure what was wanted, and then, with a bark he ran to where a big pile of the white canvas was gathered in a heap. It was a part of the tent the boys had not yet unfolded, or straightened out.
Splash stood near this and barked. Then he began poking in it with his sharp nose.
"He—he's found something," said Ben.
"Maybe it's Sue," cried Bunker. "Come on!"
Taking hold of Bunny's hand, Bunker ran with him toward the pile of canvas. The other boys ran too. But before they got there Sue was sitting up in the middle of it, and Splash was standing near her, barking and jumping about now and then, as if he felt very happy.
"Why—why, Sue!" Bunny cried. "Were you there all the while?"
"How long is all the while?" asked Sue, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "I was playing house here, Bunny, and I pulled a bed spread over me, and went to sleep. Splash put his cold nose on me and woke me up. What are you all lookin' at me for?" Sue asked, as she saw the circle of boys, her brother among them, staring at her.
"We—we thought you were lost, Sue," said Bunny. "And we came to find you."
