"And have you been in there ever since?" he asked.
"Yes," Bunny replied. "We were playing steamboat, and we lay down to go to sleep while we went over the make-believe ocean waves. Then, when we woke up, and couldn't see our house—"
"Or any houses," added Sue.
"Or any houses," Bunny went on, "why—why, we thought we were—"
"Lost!" exclaimed Sue. "We don't like to be lost!"
"You're not lost," Mr. Reinberg said, laughing again. "You're quite a way from home, though, for I have been going very fast. But I'll take care of you. Now let me see what I had better do. I have to go on to Wayville, and I don't want to turn around and go back with you youngsters. And if I take you with me your folks will worry.
"I know what I'll do. I'll telephone back to your mother, tell her that you're with me, and that I'll take you to Wayville, and bring you safely back again. How will that do?"
"Will you take us in the auto?" asked Bunny.
"Of course."
"Oh, what fun!" cried Sue. "We'll have a ride, after all, Bunny."
