Brown and the children went through
the door Lucile uttered a low cry at the sight of a man who was just
getting up from the piano.
"Uncle Bill!" cried Lucile. "Uncle Bill! Oh, we have found you at
last!"
CHAPTER XX
THE DRESS REHEARSAL
Bunny Brown, who had been listening to the piano music of the blind man,
looked quickly at Lucile as she cried out about Uncle Bill. For Bunny
remembered how much the actress girl and her brother had wanted to find
their blind uncle, so he might tell them where their other uncle and
aunt were.
Sue just said: "O-oh!"
"Uncle Bill!" cried Mart, in the same sort of wondering voice as had his
sister. "Yes, that's our Uncle Bill!" he went on, as the blind man, who
had been playing, came over toward them. There was a strange look on his
face, and except for a queer look about his eyes, one would hardly have
known he was blind.
"Who is calling me?" he asked. "I seem to know those voices, though I
have not heard them for a long time. Who is it?"
Lucile and Mart stepped forward. Mr. Brown was right behind them, and
Bunny and Sue were near their father. Mr. Harrison, who was in charge
of the Home, looked on in surprise.
"Do you know Mr. Clayton?" he asked Lucile and Mart.
"Yes, he is our uncle," Mart answered in a low voice, but, low as it
was, the blind piano player heard.
