They knew he had stayed in to get his
plaything.
"Maybe she's going to make him stay in half an hour," suggested George.
"She didn't say she was," replied Bunny. "But maybe she's giving him
a--a leshure." What Bunny meant was lecture.
"Let's look in," suggested George.
On tiptoes they went to a window whence they could see into the room.
There they saw Miss Bradley winding up Charlie's auto, and they heard
Charlie saying:
"You try it now, Miss Bradley! See how nice it runs!"
And as the surprised watchers looked on, their teacher started the toy
across the floor as Charlie had done. For, following the first showing
of his plaything, Charlie had offered to let his teacher wind it, and
she had agreed.
"Yes, it is a cute toy," said the teacher, as the auto banged into a
side wall and stopped. "But we mustn't play with it in school hours."
"Oh, no'm!" agreed Charlie, and then he hurried outside, where Bunny and
George were waiting for him.
"Say, you ought to see!" exclaimed Charlie, half breathless.
