"No'm, we won't!" promised Freddie. "No, he won't do just this again," said Bert with a laugh to Nan. "But he'll do something else just as queer." And of course Freddie did. After lunch Mrs. Powendon went back to her car, and the Bobbseys took their seats in the drawing room which they occupied.
The Whipples, taking Uncle Jack with them, had gone back to New York, and the Bobbseys were alone. "It will soon be Summer," said Nan. "I wonder what we shall do then. Where are we going to spend our vacation, Mother?" "Oh, I think Daddy has some nice place picked out." "Let's try to guess!" said Nan to Bert.
"But she wasn't playing hide and go seek," declared Nan. "She wouldn't hide from us." "You can't tell," said Aunt Sarah, so cheerfully that the others took heart. Back they hurried to the field where the big shocks of dried cornstalks stood. The two Mr. Bobbseys also went along to help in the search. "Now show us where you and Flossie were playing at shell the corn," said the mother of the twins.
"Well, don't pump any fire engine watah on ole Dinah, honey lamb!" begged the fat cook. "Oh, a picnic! What fun!" cried Nan, when she heard about it. And such good times as the Bobbseys had when they went to the cool green woods, with well-filled lunch baskets! Mr.
Mildred Manners' folks paid ten cents each too, and they had the big green bench from the side porch. "Give Mrs. Burns a front seat," Harry whispered to Ned, as the busy farmer's wife actually stopped her work to see what all the excitement was about. The Bobbseys had come Mr. Bobbsey and all, and Dinah wore her best black bonnet. "When will it begin?"
We are all twins, you know Nan and Bert, and Flossie and me and you!" By this time the other Bobbseys had come out to welcome Sandy.
The Bobbsey twins were very fond of Snoop, and had kept him so many years that I suppose he ought to be called cat, instead of a kitten, now. After the first winter's fun, told of in the book that began an account of the doings of the Bobbseys, the twins and their parents went to the home of Uncle Daniel Bobbsey, and his wife, Aunt Sarah, in Meadow Brook.
Charley said he'd stop for us, but I'm glad you did, too. The Bobbseys are going with us, Mother," Nellie called back to her mother who was looking out of a window. "It's a regular chestnutting party," said Flossie. "Only we haven't anything to eat," added Freddie, and all the others laughed. "That's so!" exclaimed Nellie's brother George, who was older than any of the others.
He turned to look at the Bobbseys and their friends, and he waved his hand, He seemed to like to have the children watching him. And then Flossie, with a quick little motion kissed the tips of her chubby, rosy fingers and fluttered them eagerly toward the President's wife. "I threw her a kiss!" exclaimed Flossie with a laugh. "I'm gin' to throw one too," exclaimed Freddie. And he did.
And then the Bobbseys and the cowboys who had witnessed the happy reunion went away and left the father and sons together. So everything turned out as Bert and Nan hoped it would, after they had heard the two foremen speaking of their new name. And, in a way, the Bobbsey twins had helped bring this happy time about.
