CHAPTER XVII
A NOISE AT NIGHT
When Mr. Brown, Bunny, Sue and Bunker Blue came back from their little fishing trip, they saw Mother Brown walking about the camp, in and out among the tents, looking here and there.
"Have you lost something, Mother?" asked Bunny.
"Well, yes, I have—sort of," she said, smiling. "I've lost a pie!"
"Oh, a pie!" cried Sue. "Did you drop it, Mother, and did it fall down a crack in the board walk, like my penny did once?"
"No!" laughed Mrs. Brown. "It wasn't that way."
Then she told of having made four pies, setting them on the table to cool while she went to the spring for a pail of water.
"And when I came back, a whole pie was gone!" she said.
