"But we'll load the things in the pony cart," said Bunny to Sue, "and
drive to our house. Bunker Blue is going to be there, for he's going to
cut the grass, and he can drive across Main Street to Mrs. Larken's
house."
"That will be all right," said Mrs. Golden. "It's very kind of you to
help me this way."
The children started out with Toby, and they were almost at their own
home when they heard a great shouting and racket behind them.
"Oh, Bunny!" cried Sue, "maybe we dropped something out of the cart and
they're calling to us to pick it up."
Bunny gave one look back over the way they had come. Then he pulled hard
on Toby's reins and shouted:
"No, we didn't drop anything, but here comes the fire engine!"
And, surely enough, dashing down the street was the shiny new engine
that had lately been bought for Bellemere.
"Oh, pull over to one side!" cried Sue, clasping Bunny's arm. "Pull over
to one side!"
"I--I'm trying to!" he answered. But Toby did not seem to want to go
over near the curb, and out of danger.
