"Don't you want me to look in that room and see if there's a bed? 'Cause maybe we'll have to stay all night." "Don't look!" begged Flossie "Maybe maybe Mr. Blipper is in there!" "Mr. Blipper?" echoed Freddie. "What would he be doing here? He's at his merry-go-round." "No, he isn't at his merry-go-round," insisted Flossie.
Blipper got control of him, and the merry-go-round man told a wrong story about having taken the lad from an orphan asylum. If Bob had been in an asylum he would have been well treated, and no person would have been allowed to take him away until they had been looked up, to make sure the boy would be well cared for. Mr.
"The children have enjoyed it. Thank you!" "Um!" grunted Mr. Blipper. "Here you, Bob!" he roared. "Come and shut off this steam. We're going to travel!" He climbed up on the seat, and Bob, after hanging the water pail on a hook beneath the truck, shut off the engine. The organ ceased playing, and the trucks containing the merry-go-round lumbered off. "Good-by!" called the Bobbsey twins.
Nan had a special ride, because Bob Guess had saved for her the brass ring, and when the other children learned that Nan was to ride for nothing, of course they wanted an extra ride, for which Mr. Bobbsey had to pay. "When do you think Mr. Blipper will be here?" Mr. Bobbsey asked of Bob, as the party was leaving. "I want to talk to him." "I don't know," was the boy's answer.
Bobbsey, and he spoke in such a way that Mr. Blipper at once lost some of his bluster. "She has the same right that any one has to inquire into something he thinks is wrong." "But this isn't wrong!" cried Mr. Blipper. "I have a right to this boy. I adopted him legally, I did! I gave him a name when he didn't have any before. Bob Guess I call him, 'cause I had to guess at his name.
Perhaps they think they can send it up and let it come down again before the storm." "Oh, let's hurry and see it!" cried Nan, who was as much interested in the big gas bag as were the boys. "First we'll give Flossie and Freddie a ride on the merry-go-round, I think," suggested Mrs. Bobbsey. So they all voted to have a ride, as Mr. Bobbsey wanted a chance to speak to Mr. Blipper.
"I don't know anything about them," murmured Bob. "Well, I know something!" cried Bert. "And that is this! What Mr. Hardy said he was going to tell on Blipper about was you, Bob Guess!" "Me?" cried the strange boy. "Yes, you! I don't believe you belong to Mr. Blipper at all!" Bob Guess could, for a moment, only stare at Bert after this strange remark.
Blipper. "And while we're waiting here get a pail and water the horses. Might as well make yourself useful as well as ornamental." To the Bobbsey twins it seemed that Bob had been making himself busy, if not useful, ever since the merry-go-round had halted near the picnic grounds. The boy turned a handle and once more the organ began grinding out music of one kind or another.
If necessary I'll call a policeman. You must wait until my husband comes back!" "I'm not going to wait! I'm going to take that boy now!" cried the angry man, as Bert and his father hurried in. Mr. Bobbsey and Bert now looked on a rather sad scene in the hotel sitting room. On one side of the apartment stood Mr. Blipper, having hold of the coat collar of Bob Guess. And Bob was crying again.
"I bought them for you." "What's that? Who's been giving you clothes?" demanded Mr. Blipper. "Don't you think he needed them?" inquired Mrs. Bobbsey, gently. "Well er I was going to buy him a new suit after we took in some money at the Bolton Fair," sheepishly said Mr. Blipper. "I I'm much obliged to you folks, though. Bob isn't a bad boy when he wants to be good. Come on now.
