"Maybe there's a hole under the floor of the shop and he's there, just as once at Grandpa's farm in the country we found where a hen had her nest under the floor in the barn. And it had eggs in it!" "Dogs don't make nests like hens," said Bunny. "Oh, I know that!" retorted Sue. "But maybe this dog hid the pocketbook under the boards in the shop floor." "I hardly think so," put in Uncle Tad. "He probably dropped that pocketbook in the street, and either some one picked it up and kept it, or else it was dropped down a sewer." "But if anybody found it, wouldn't we have got it back?" asked Bunny. "Daddy put an advertisement in the paper." "Maybe we would and maybe we wouldn't," said Uncle Tad. "Anyhow, it's gone."
