Their house was about a quarter of a mile away from the lumber yard, on a fashionable street, and about it was a large lawn, while in the back Sam Johnson, the colored man of all work, and the husband of Dinah, had a fine garden. The Bobbseys had many vegetables from this garden. There was also a barn near the house, and in this the children had many good times.
The work of getting the escaped animals back into their cages was going on rapidly. Some of the passengers went out to watch, but the Bobbseys stayed in their seats, Mr. Bobbsey thinking this best. The catching of the monkeys was the hardest work, but soon even this was accomplished. The wait seemed very tiresome when there was nothing more to watch, and Mr.
You might get lost, even if you are only in the railroad station." "I couldn't get lost Flossie knew where I was," said Freddie. "I sent her back to bring you, so you could pay for my bugs." Then the two younger Bobbseys looked over about all the toy tin bugs in the station store, and finally picked out those they wanted, though it took some little time.
He looked to make sure his own children were all right and then glanced about. As he did so there came from a little clump of trees, not far from the grove where the Bobbseys had eaten lunch, a ragged boy, who seemed in pain or distress, for he was crying very hard. "Oh, the poor lad!" said Mrs. Bobbsey in a kind voice. "Go see what the matter is, Dick! He is in trouble of some sort!
"'Deed an' he am, honey," said Dinah with a smile, laughing so that she shook all over her big, fleshy body. "I 'specs he's lonesome; aren't you, Snoop?" asked Flossie, poking her finger in one of the cracks, to caress, as well as she could, a fat, black cat. The cat, like Dinah the cook, went with the Bobbseys on all their summer outings.
This room, however, was little used, except for storage, and there was nothing in it to be damaged save some old furniture. Bert and Harry made their way into the apartment, and the girls followed. They were looking about at the odd sight, when something in a corner of the room, along the wall that was next to the living room, where the Bobbseys had spent the evening, caught Bert's eyes.
Then the Bobbseys and others looked at the camp some more, Bert being very much interested in a small canoe, which, he said, would be just right for him and Tommy Todd to paddle. "Wouldn't you let me paddle with you?" asked Nan. "I know how a little." "Sure I'll let you," agreed her brother. "Oh, I do hope Dad will let us go camping!" Mr.
While their father and mother were talking to the assistant foreman and the cook, who said his name was Jed Prenty, the four Bobbsey twins wandered outside the log cabin. It stood on the edge of a clearing in the forest, and not far away there were other log buildings, most of them larger than the one where the Bobbseys were to live.
A little later Flossie and Freddie were back "home" again. That is, if you call a hotel "home," and it was, for the time, to the traveling Bobbseys. "What made you do it?" asked Flossie's mother, when the story had been told. "What made you go after the stray cat?" "It was such a nice cat!" said the little girl, "And we wanted to see if it was like our Snoop," added Freddie.
But it was of no use all the mail for the Bobbseys had been delivered. "Never mind, he'll come again this afternoon," said Mrs. Bobbsey, who saw how keenly Nan was disappointed. On her desk in school Nan found two valentines from her schoolmates.
