"My watch!" gasped Rose.
"Oh, dear me! Your nice new wrist watch?" asked Mother Bunker admonishingly.
"Yes, ma'am," sighed Rose. "I—I haven't got it."
"Oh, my!" cried Laddie suddenly.

"And what's the matter with you, Laddie?" asked Daddy Bunker. "What have you lost?"
"Oh, my!" said Laddie, quite as dolefully as Rose had spoken. "I—I don't see my new stick-pin. It isn't here. I—I just guess I have lost it, too."
