He may have wondered, in his doggie mind, what all the
fuss was about and what had become of the fluffy cat, but he was
getting used to having his fun abruptly ended.
"I didn't know you brought the dog, dear," said Grandmother
Hastings, breaking a grim silence as they walked home. "And did
you know Mother wasn't willing to have you go at night when you
asked me to take you?"
Poor little Sister had to confess that she had asked Grandmother
to take them because she knew that in no other way could they get
to the movies at night. Grandmother Hastings never scolded, but
her grandchildren hated to know that she was disappointed in them.
No one scolded Brother and Sister very much that night. They were
put to bed, and the next morning Daddy Morrison called them into
his "den" before he left for the office, and told them that for a
week they could not go out of their own yard.
"And I s'pose we can't go with Ralph Saturday," wailed Sister.
CHAPTER XV
TROUBLE AGAIN
However, they were allowed to go with Ralph to the movies the next
Saturday. Ralph himself explained to Daddy Morrison that he had
promised to take them and then found he had a previous engagement.
He thought, and Daddy Morrison did, too, that having to stay in
the yard for a whole week was punishment enough even if one
exception was permitted.
