"This hose might sprinkle you by accident, the same as it did when Freddie had it," he added. "Huh! I know what kind of an accident that was!" spoke Danny, with a sneer. "You'd better get out of the way," went on Bert quietly.
She told her husband that they got along because he was "so wonderful"; she felt that no financial tangle could resist Bert's neatly pencilled little calculations, but Bert praised only her what credit to him that he did not complain, when he was the most fortunate man in the world? They came to be proud of their achievement.
"I haven't been so tired since the Army game." "Just what we dubs needed," affirmed Bert. "Did you notice the snap and pepper in the team? It's the first time for a week that we've known we were alive. We're going to be a real football team after all. 'The cat came back, and why shouldn't we?" "I suppose it was due to that lot of 'old grads' looking on," surmised Tom.
Once, just before they went into the dining car to breakfast, the Bobbsey twins saw in a clearing a big wagon loaded with logs and drawn by eight horses. "Oh, look!" cried Bert, pointing to it. "Will you have teams like that, Mother?" "Well, I suppose so," she answered. "I don't really know what is on my lumber tract, as yet." "We'll soon see," said Mr. Bobbsey, looking at his watch.

When I marry I want to marry as a matter of choice not because it's the only way out." "Now you're talking," said Bert. "And most of us girls who marry as a matter of choice don't marry. Perhaps I'm too cynical.
Bobbsey and I are on our way there now to look after matters, and we had to take the children with us." "And I suppose they were very sorry about that," said Mrs. Powendon with a smile, as she looked at Nan and Bert. "Oh, no!" exclaimed Bert "Indeed we weren't sorry! We're going to have fine times!"

A few people were running to and fro, but for the most part the aspect of the district was desertion. The streets seemed to broaden out, they became clearer, and the little dots that were people larger as the Vaterland came down again. Presently she was swaying along above the lower end of Broadway.

Now, Dodge, from having tried to visit Furlong the night before, knew that the young man had returned from the hop, for he had seen Furlong go into his tent shortly after ten.
