“He’s a nice boy,” said Rose, when he was out of sight.
“I’d like to have that dog,” remarked Russ.
“I think—now maybe—I guess I have a riddle about a dog,” began Laddie, but before he could ask it, or even before he could think what it was, yells and screams came from another part of the brook.
“That’s Mun Bun!” exclaimed Rose.
“Sounded like Margy, too,” said Russ.
“Maybe they’ve fallen into the water,” suggested Laddie.
Just then Violet was heard asking:
“Oh, what did you want to go and do that for? Now you have gone and done it! Are your feet wet? Did you get hurt, Mun Bun?”
“Gosh!” laughed Russ, as he and the others started on a run for the place whence the voices sounded. “I guess Vi would ask questions if the house was on fire.”
“Sounds as if Margy and Mun Bun had fallen into the brook,” said Rose.
