"I don't want to go home all wet!"
"But you'll have to!" insisted Bunny. "You can't stay out here till you
get dry. You must go to the house, Sue!"
"Not the front way nor the side way nor the back way!" Sue declared.
"Then how are you going to get in?" asked Bunny. "Do you want to go in
through the cellar?"
"I'd have to come up in the kitchen," objected Sue, "and Mary would see
me just the same and she'd say, 'bless an' save us!'"
"Well, but how are you going to get in?" Bunny demanded. "There isn't
any other way."
"Yes, there is!" suddenly exclaimed Charlie.
"How?" asked Bunny Brown.
"Up the painter's ladder," went on Charlie. "They're painting the roof
of your sun parlor. And the ladder's right there. We can get Sue up the
ladder to the roof of the sun parlor, and there's a second-story window
she can get in so nobody can see her, and change her things."
"Oh! A ladder!" gasped Sue, when she heard how Charlie and her brother
planned to get her into the house unseen by company. "A ladder!"
"Sure!" cried Bunny.
