The Bobbseys spent some little time at the waterfall, and then, as there was a pretty little island near it, where picnic parties often went for the day, they went there in the Bluebird, going ashore for their dinner. "But I'm not going to play Robinson Crusoe again," said Freddie, as he remembered the time he had been caught in the cave.
"They haven't been to visit us in some time, and I think both Harry and Dorothy would enjoy the trip." Harry and Dorothy, as I have told you, were cousins of the Bobbseys. Harry lived at Meadow Brook, in the country, and Dorothy at Ocean Cliff, near the sea. "I'll write to-morrow," said Mrs. Bobbsey, "and find out if they can go with us. Now have we anything else to settle about our trip?"
"And I'll help," offered Flossie. Soon all was in readiness for the start to the depot where the Bobbseys would take the train for Meadow Brook. Just as the automobile came up to the door to take the family, there arose a cry from the direction of the side porch where Flossie and Freddie had gone with the cat-cage, in which to put Snoop. "Oh, my!" exclaimed Mrs. Bobbsey.
It's stronger than I thought it was," and Bert bent to the blast as he walked along with the others. "Will there be any danger?" asked Dorothy, who was not used to the activities of the Bobbseys. "Oh, don't worry!" cried Harry. "We'll look after you girls." "They think they will," murmured Nan looking at her cousin, "I guess I know almost as much about the Ice Bird as Bert does."
After this little trouble, the Bobbseys and their friends went on toward the grove in the woods where the picnic was to be held. There was laughing and shouting, and much fun on the way, in which Snap shared. Boys and girls would run to one side or the other of the path to gather late flowers.
"I believe they would," agreed his father. "As for everything being made of wood, it generally is in a lumber camp. Now we must get settled. Where can I find the foreman?" he asked of the driver of the wagon who had brought the Bobbseys over from the railroad station. "He's outside somewhere in the woods," was the answer. "I'll find him and tell him you're here.
No sooner had he noticed himself in the pictures than he cried out loud: "Oh, that's me! Now watch me fall in the brook!" And he did, amid the laughter of the audience. I wish I had space to tell you of all the other things the Bobbseys did at Meadow Brook, but this book is as full as it will hold. So I will just say that when the time came Frank went back to Mr.
They would do this, they said, as soon as they had signed the papers Bill Dayton was bringing to them. And one day, when the wagon had been sent to the same station at which the Bobbseys left the train some months before, the ranch foreman came into the room where Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey were talking with the children and said: "He's here!" "Who?" asked Bert's father. "My brother Bill!
Bobbsey and Bert and Nan reached the hotel again, and, after a little talk with their mother, telling her what they had seen, the two older Bobbsey twins "turned in," as Bert called it, having used this expression when camping on Blueberry Island, and taking the voyage on the deep, blue sea. Because they were rather tired from their trip, none of the Bobbseys arose very early the next morning.
Meanwhile, several times, Dinah said she missed food from her kitchen. It was only little things, though, and the Bobbseys paid small attention to her, for Dinah was often forgetful, and might have been mistaken. "I really think we have some rats aboard," said Mr. Bobbsey. "There are some on nearly every boat. I have heard noises in the night that could be made only by rats."
