“He might if he took a flashlight,” said Russ. “Maybe that’s what he did. I’ll go and look for him.”
“I’ll come and help you,” offered Adam.
But a search through the garden and more calling of Laddie’s name brought no answer from the little fellow.
“Where can he have gone?” exclaimed Mrs. Bunker. “I’m afraid he’s lost.”
CHAPTER V
OFF TO THE FARM
Mr. Bunker saw that his wife was growing a little alarmed over Laddie’s absence, so he said:
“Now don’t worry, we’ll find Laddie.”
“I’ll help you look for him,” said Adam. “He can’t have gone very far.”
“Maybe he fell asleep in the summer-house,” suggested Russ, for at the end of the garden was a rustic summer-house, or pavilion, in which the children sometimes played. But Laddie was not there.
“Could he have fallen into the brook?” asked Rose.
