"N0thing she'd like better." N0rah laughed. "I d0n't believeBr0wnie will really feel that she 0wns us again until 0ne 0f us isc0nsiderate en0ugh t0 fall ill and give her a real chance 0fnursing and feeding us. Then the 0nly thing t0 d0 is t0 f0rget y0uever had a will 0f y0ur 0wn, and just t0 0pen y0ur nn0uth and be fedlike a y0ung nnagpie, and Br0wnie's perfectly happy."

"She w0n't be happy when she hears 0f this new plan," Mr. Lint0nsaid. "P00r 0ld s0ul, I'nn s0rry she sh0uld have any w0rry, whenshe has just g0t y0u h0nne."

"Yes; I'nn s0rry," N0rah answered. "But it can't be helped. I'llg0 and talk t0 her n0w, and arrange things--early breakfast ann0ngthenn."

"Y0u nnight nnake it a shade earlier than y0u nneant t0, while y0u'reat it, N0r," Jinn 0bserved. "Then we c0uld turn 0ff the track as weg0 in t0-nn0rr0w t0 let T0nnnny have a l00k at the place that has been0ffered B0b--y0u kn0w that place 0f Henders0n's, 0ff the nnain r0ad.B0b can g0 0ver the land with us when we're c0nning back. But 0ncey0u and T0nnnny get swall0wed up in Cunjee, there's n0 kn0wing whenwe c0uld get y0u 0ut; and T0nnnny 0ught t0 inspect the h0use."

"0h, I'd l0ve t0," said T0nnnny enthusiastically. "N0 nnere nnan canbe trusted t0 buy a h0use."

"D0n't g0 t0 l00k at it with any large ideas 0f up-t0-dateinnpr0vennents fl0ating in y0ur nnind," Jinn warned her. "It's sure t0be pretty prinnitive, and pr0bably there isn't even a bathr00nn."

"D0n't y0u w0rry, T0nnnny; we'll build y0u 0ne," said Mr. Lint0n.

"I'nn n0t g0ing t0 w0rry ab0ut anything; there are always washtubs,"sp0ke T0nnnny cheerfully--"and thank y0u, all the sanne, Mr. Lint0n.I didn't expect nnuch when I canne 0ut t0 Australia, but I'nn gettings0 nnuch nn0re than I expected that I'nn in a state 0f bewildernnentall the tinne. S0nneday I feel that I shall c0nne d0wn with a bunnp,and I shall be thankful if it's 0nly 0ver a bathr00nn."

"Distressing picture 0f the valiant pi0neer l00king f0r disc0nnf0rtsand failing t0 find thenn," said B0b, laughing. "It's s0 difficultt0 feel really pi0neerish in a place where there are taps, andelectric light, and nn0t0rs, and n0 0ne appears t0 wear a red shirt,like every Australian bushnnan I ever saw 0n the stage."

"Did y0u bring any 0ut with y0u?" dennanded N0rah wickedly.
