d Russ had gone with their father for a row in the
boat, Mrs. Bunker, who was in the house with Grandma Bell helping her sew,
said to Rose:
"You might take the smaller children down to the woods by the lake and
play there. It's cool and shady, and you may take some cookies, or other
little lunch with you, and have a sort of picnic."
"And may we take Muffin?" asked Vi.
"Yes, take Muffin," said Grandma Bell, for the maltese cat liked to be
with the children as much as they liked to have her. Zip, the dog, had
gone off with Tom Hardy.
Grandma Bell put up a lunch for the children, and then Rose led them down
to the shady shore of the lake, where they were to have some fun.
"I'm going to make a dress out of green leaves for my doll," said Vi.
"And I'm going to make a new bathing suit for my rubber doll," said Rose.

sister's hand, while Margy hid behind Violet.
"What is it, Mun Bun?" asked Rose.
"Oh, I saw something big--an animal--I--I guess it's a bear--come up out
of the lake!" cried the little fellow. "Come and look!"
