Just as you like," said Mrs. Golden, in a
dreamy tone. She was thinking of what her son had said in his letter.
Hurrying through their lunch as quickly as their mother would let them,
Bunny and Sue hastened back to Mrs. Golden's store. They told something
of their plans at home, and Uncle Tad said:
"That's a fine idea! I'll stop down there later and see how it looks."
"Come on, Splash!" called Bunny to his dog, as he and his sister started
back. "We want you!"
"And we must stop at Charlie's house and tell him," said Sue.
"Yes, we will," Bunny agreed, and Charlie, when he heard the news, said:
"I'll be at the store in about half an hour."
Certainly things were getting ready to happen.
Bunny and Sue found Mrs. Golden lying down on her couch in the back room
when they reached the store again.
"I'm afraid I have another of my bad headaches coming on," she said.
"You lie down," said Sue kindly. "Bunny and I will tend store again, and
we'll start the special sale."
The windows were now dry and clean.
