"Yes, I would be with you part of the time," said Mr. Brown. "Of course I should also have to be at my dock down here in Bellemere part of the time to look after business, but I could come up and down. Christmas Tree Cove is not far away, and there are boats going up and down the river and the bay each week. YES I WOULD BE WITH YOU PART OF THE TIME SAID MISTER BROWN OF COURSE I SHOULD ALSO HAVE TO BE AT MY DOCK DOWN HERE IN BELLAMIR PART OF THE TIME TO LOOK AFTER BUSINESS BUT I CAN COME UP AND DOWN CHRISTMAS TREE COVE IS NOT FAR AWAY AND THERE ARE BOATS GOING UP AND DOWN THE RIVER IN THE BAY EACH WEEK
 Turtle River. I suppose it was called that because it had so many turtles in it, and sometimes Bunny and Sue had caught them. Christmas Tree Cove was so named because on the banks of it were many evergreen trees, called Christmas trees by the children, and also by some of the grown folk. And the cove had in it a few little islands. It was a place where camping parties sometimes went, and often there were picnics held there. "What is going on at Christmas Tree Cove that you should want to take us there?" asked Mrs. Brown, as she passed her husband some sliced peaches. "I have been trying to think of a nice place where you and the children might spend the summer," he answered, "and when I heard that Captain Ross had his motor boat _Fairy_ to hire for trips, I thought it would be just the chance for us. "There is a bungalow at Christmas Tree Cove I can hire for the summer, and, if you want to go, we can all pile on board the _Fairy_ and make the trip." "Would you come, too?" asked Bunny. T ONE WOULD COME AFTER A WHILE TO TURTLE RIVER I SUPPOSE IT WAS CALLED THAT BECAUSE IT HAD SO MANY TURTLES IN IT AND SOMETIMES BUNNY AND SEW HAD CAUGHT THEM CHRISTMAS TREE COVE WAS SO NAMED BECAUSE ON THE BANKS OF IT WERE MANY EVERGREEN TREES CALLED CHRISTMAS TREES BY THE CHILDREN AND ALSO BY SOME OF THE GROWN FOLK AND THE COVE HAD IN IT A FEW LITTLE ISLANDS IT WAS A PLACE WHERE CAMPING PARTIES SOMETIMES WENT AND OFTEN THERE WERE PICNICS HELD THERE WHAT'S GOING ON AT CHRISTMAS TREE COVE THAT YOU SHOULD WANT TO TAKE US THERE ASKED MISSUS BROWN AS SHE PASSED HER HUSBAND SOME SLICED PEACHCHES I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO THINK OF A NICE PLACE WHERE YOU AND THE CHILDREN MIGHT SPEND THE SUMMER HE ANSWERED AND WHEN I HEARD THAT CAPTAIN ROSS HAD HIS MOTOR BOAT FERRY TO HIRE FOR TRIPS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE JUST THE CHANCE FOR US THERE IS A BUNGALOW AT CHRISTMAS TREE COVE I CAN HIRE FOR THE SUMMER AND IF YOU WANT TO GO WE CAN ALL PILE ON BOARD THE FERRY AND MAKE THE TRIP WOULD YOU COME TOO ASKED BUNNY
