Brown. As it was early Bunny and Sue had not yet gone to
bed so they could hear the talk that went on.
"I think we did very well, Mrs. Brown," said Mrs. West, the mother of
Sue's playmate, Sadie. "We cleared nearly two hundred dollars for our
Red Cross Chapter from the Opera House show."
"That's splendid!" exclaimed Mrs. Brown. "I didn't think we would make
quite so much. But we could use still more money."
"Yes, if we had more money we could do more good," said Mrs. Bentley. "I
don't suppose we could have another performance soon. The people would
not come."
Bunny and Sue, who were in another room looking at picture books,
glanced at one another. Then they smiled. Bunny slid down off his chair,
followed by Sue.
"Shall we tell 'em?" asked Bunny.
"Yes," nodded Sue.
So the two children walked slowly into the room where their mother and
the other ladies were talking about the Red Cross Society. Mrs. Brown
was just saying something.
"No," she remarked, "I hardly believe we could arrange to give another
show right away. It would be too much like----"
"Mother!" interrupted Bunny, speaking in a low voice.
"Yes, Son!" answered Mrs. Brown. "But run away now, dear. Mother is very
busy. I'll speak to you in just a minute."
"But we want to talk about the show, Mother," persisted Bunny.
