"That's so," Sue agreed.
It would never do to miss "jam-time."
"My doll must be hot, too," Sue went on. "I wonder if we could give her a bath?"
"How?" Bunny wanted to know.
"Why, down in the well," suddenly cried Sue. "We could tie a string around her, and let her down in the well water. That would give her a bath. She's a rubber doll, and a bath won't hurt her. It will do her good."
"We'll do it!" cried Bunny.
The well was not far from the house. A little later, with a string he had taken from his kite, Bunny was helping Sue lower her rubber doll down the big hole, at the bottom of which was the cool water that was pulled up in a bucket.
"Splash!" went the doll down in the well. By leaning over the edge of the wooden box that was built around the water-place, Bunny and Sue could see the rubber doll splashing up and down in the water far below them.
"Oh, she likes it! She likes it!" cried Sue, jumping up and down in delight. "Doesn't she just love it, Bunny?"
"I guess so," her brother answered. "But she can't talk and tell us so, of course."
