Sunny Boy knew all about the Square Box. It stood in the hall closet
next to the bathroom, and in it Mrs. Horton put all his clothes that
were too small for him to wear and all the clothes her friends gave

Horton said there were still some clothes left in the Square Box.

"Here is a good coat for a little girl and three sets of underwear for
a man," she said, when they had opened the box. "And this is a warm
dress for the mother, if she needs one. And if Daddy comes home and
tells us he needs other things for the family, we'll get them for him."
