"Why, I guess the strange dog was running through our yard with Flossie's doll in his mouth when Snoop saw him and ran at him," said Bert. "Snoop doesn't like strange dogs, and she must have made quite a fuss at this one, for he dropped the doll. I'll get her for you, Flossie." The little twin's doll lay on the grass where the dog had dropped it when the cat chased after him.
"It's the latest in carriages," came from Andy. "Oh!" murmured Laura. "Did you really come all the way from Putnam Hall in that?" "It must have been hard riding," was Flossie's comment. "No, we didn't come all the way," answered Pepper. "We'll tell you about it later," he added. Then Ezra Cole was paid. The old farmer lost no time in driving away.
If Flossie's figure was small and round, her face was somewhat large, a perfect oval moulded in the subtlest curves, smooth and white moreover, with a tinge of ivory sallow towards the roots of her black hair. Wonderful hair was Flossie's.
"Well, as it is almost time for recess, I don't mind if Bert makes Snap do one or two tricks," Flossie's teacher said, smiling. "But only two. School isn't just the place for dogs." "Ready Snap!" called Bert. "March like a soldier!" "You may take my blackboard pointer for a gun," the teacher said. Snap stood up on his hind legs, and in one paw he held the long pointer.
Mabel brought up her supply with her hands, but when Nan tried it her hands leaked, and the result was her fresh white frock got wet. Flossie's curls tumbled in both sides, and when she had finished she looked as if she had taken a plunge at the seashore. "Let me! Let me!" cried Freddie impatiently, and without further warning he thrust his yellow head in the spring clear up to his neck!
This was not pure mischief or unkindness on Flossie's side, but part of a treatment she had hit upon for curing Ella of her folly. And at last the worm turned. Flossie came in one day with a cheap plush and terra-cotta panel of appalling ugliness. 'For the drawing-room, dear, she observed blandly, and Ella suddenly burst into a flood of tears.
"Oh, yes, here it is," said Mrs. Evringham, and she began to read: As Hazel met Flossie's look, her heart swelled and she wished her mother were here to take care of this little girl who had fallen into such a sad mistake. "I wish I knew how to tell you better, Flossie, about God being Love," she said; "but He is, and He didn't send you your trouble."
"It's safer to go down in the elevator." And, a little later, the Bobbsey twins and their father and mother were back on the ground again. Once outside the big stone shaft, they saw a boy come running up with Flossie's hat in his hand. "Oh, look! Look!" cried the little girl. "There it is! There it is!" "Is this your hat?" the small boy wanted to know.
Joan had not seen her since they had been at Girton together, and was surprised at Flossie's youthful "get up." Flossie explained, and without waiting for any possible attack flew to her own defence. "The revolution that the world is waiting for," was Flossie's opinion, "is the providing of every man and woman with a hundred and fifty a year.
"Oh, he's going to get my doll!" cried Flossie. "Look, Snap is after my doll!" And so he was. After taking Snoop safely to the boat, Snap had seen Flossie's doll floating on the top of the water, and had swum toward that, just as he would have gone toward a floating stick, had there been one near. "OK, now he's got her!" cried the happy Flossie. "Now Snap has my doll. Goodie!"
