noon
They did not go as fast as they might , for Mr. Brown wanted Bunker to go carefully . Then , too , there was no hurry . It was such fun , traveling in this new way , that Bunny and Sue would not have minded if they could have kept it up all Summer . They stopped , that noon , near a little brook to eat their dinner . It was not far from a small town , and Bunker walked in and came back with some ice cream . After dinner they went on again , and , as it looked as though it might rain that night , Mr. Brown said they would stop near the next village , so , in case the storm was a bad one , they could go to a hotel to sleep . `` But the rain wo n't come in the auto , '' said Bunny .
