"I don't guess anybody would make faces at you when you play on the
piano," said Bunny Brown.
"I don't guess so, either," added Sue.
There was more talk, and then it was time for Mr. Brown and the children
to go back home. Mr. Clayton promised to write a telegram to Lucile's
other uncle and aunt. He could write even though he was blind, and Mr.
Harrison, at the Home for the Blind, promised to send the message.
"Then you'll hear from Uncle Simon and Aunt Sallie soon," said the blind
man.
"I hope we hear before the play!" exclaimed Lucile. "It will make me so
much happier when I sing."
"Perhaps you'll come over to the hall the night or the performance,"
suggested Mr. Brown to Mr. Clayton. "You can hear what goes on."
"I'll try to come," agreed the blind man.
Very happy, now that they had found their uncle, Mart and Lucile went
home with Mr. Brown, Bunny, and Sue, promising to come often again to
see Mr. Clayton.
"Wasn't it queer," said Mart, "that, after all, he should come to the
same Home we're going to help with the farm play?"
"Very strange, indeed," said Mr. Brown.
"And now, if we can only get word from Uncle Simon and Aunt Sallie, how
happy we'll be!" exclaimed Lucile.
"Oh, I'm sure you'll hear soon, my dear," said Mrs. Brown when they had
reached home and told her the good news.
