Tetlow was much surprised. "If that is the case, Danny is the one to be punished," he said. "I am sorry, Flossie and Freddie, that I suspected you. You may go back to your class, and I will write your teacher a note, saying you may go out half an hour ahead of the others to make up for coming to my office. But, after this, no matter whether anyone tells you or not, don't spray the water."
Flossie greeted him, "Snoop came, and Snap kissed him!" "May we keep Snap, papa?" asked Freddie. "Yes," was Mr. Bobbsey's answer. "I have a letter from the circus man, and he will sell Snap to me. I have already sent the money. And there is another letter from the fat lady, telling about some of the new tricks she taught Snoop, so you can make him do them." "Oh! Oh!
"Ella goes everywhere I do," returned Hazel. "What's your doll's name?" "Bernice; I think Bernice is a beautiful name," said Flossie. "So do I," returned Hazel. Then the two children were silent a minute, looking at one another, uncertain how to go on. Hazel was the first to speak. "Isn't it lovely to live with this garden?" she asked. "Yes, aunt Hazel has nice flowers."
"And how about my little fat fairy?" and he playfully pinched Flossie's plump leg. "What do you want to see?" Flossie did not answer at once, but when she did she cried: "A monkey!" "A monkey?" repeated her father. "Yes, the monkeys in the park. I read about them, and how they do such funny tricks their cages. That's what I want to see the monkeys in the park." "Oh, so do I!" cried Freddie.
Nan, with Flossie and Freddie, had already joined the group of children down near the road that extended along one edge of the picnic grove. As Bert and his father neared the place, a loud, hissing sound was heard and a white cloud of steam shot into the air, while the little ones screamed and scattered. "What's that?" cried Bert. "I hope those youngsters don't go too near!" murmured Mr. Bobbsey.
She had loved him because he was young, and because he had sometimes repeated to her the little dinner-table jests that she was too deaf to hear. Last of the three, very grave and demure, came Flossie, and she, like her friend, carried her gift uncovered. She proffered it with her most becoming air of correctness and propriety.
"You can't hurt dolls." "You can so!" sobbed Flossie, who was crying real tears now. "And I don't want my best doll bitten." "Don't laugh at her, Bert," said Nan in a low voice. "Try to get her doll back for her." "I will," promised Bert. "Which way did the dog go, Flossie? Tell me." "He went around back of the house." "Maybe he thought your doll was a bone, and he's going to bury it," Bert said.
By-and-by you will grow into a beautiful woman, Flossie, and all this wild life will be like a far-off dream to you; but I hope, even if we never do meet again, that you will think of your old friend and remember what I say to you now.
It was such a pleasant evening, that even the little twins were allowed to stay up on deck past their usual bedtime, looking at the twinkling stars, and the lights of other boats on the lake. When Flossie and Freddie did get to bed, they did not go to sleep at once. It was very strange to them, sleeping on a boat in the water.
"It's a cat!" shouted Freddie. "It's Snoop our Snoop!" cried Flossie. Quickly the boxes were carried into the house. Bert got a hammer and screw driver and soon had opened the one containing the black cat. Snap, the dog, walked slowly into the room. "Oh dear!" cried Flossie as she saw him, "now maybe they'll fight!" "I'll hold Snap," volunteered Freddie. "Come on, Snoop!
