Just as Mun Bun was about to take his place, so that Russ could push him across the attic floor, footsteps were heard coming up the stairs that led to the third story of the Bunker house.
Then a boy's voice called:
"What are you doing?"
"Riding on a scooter Russ made," answered Violet. "Oh, it's lots of fun! Come on, Laddie!"
Laddie was Violet's twin brother, and he had the same kind of curly hair and gray eyes as had his sister.
"Did you make that?" asked Laddie of Russ.
"Sure."
"Will it hold me?"
"Sure. It'll hold me. I had a ride on it."
"Say, that's great!" cried Laddie. "We can have lots of fun on that! I'm glad I came up."
