"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.
I am traveling to Chicago all alone, and I saw you get on as I looked from my window in the next car. I came back to speak to you." "Why, it's Mrs. Powendon!" exclaimed Mrs. Bobbsey as she saw a lady whom she had first met at a Red Cross meeting. Mrs. Powendon lived in a village near Lakeport, and often came over to see Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey and other friends.
"I did not know it was so near lunch time. But I suppose Freddie and Flossie never forget anything so important as that." "Trust children to remember their meals!" said Mrs. Powendon. "I fear I am to blame for your two little ones running away." "Oh, no," murmured Mr. Bobbsey. "How?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey. "By coming in here, and talking to you. Probably I left the door of your drawing room open.

"I'm going to have a piece of pie!" shouted Freddie so loudly that every one in the car must have heard, for nearly every one laughed.
Flossie and Freddie must have slipped out that way." "Very likely they did," said their father. "But no great harm is done. We will all go to lunch now. Won't you come with us, Mrs. Powendon?" "Thank you, I will," answered the lady who had come visiting, and so the rest of the Bobbseys and their friend went to the dining car.
"And so we'll all sit down and have lunch." And while they were eating Flossie and Freddie told how they had slipped out, when their mother and father were busy talking to Mrs. Powendon, and while Bert and Nan were looking out of the window. They had been in dining cars on railroad trains before, and so they knew pretty nearly what to do.
Bobbsey and I are on our way there now to look after matters, and we had to take the children with us." "And I suppose they were very sorry about that," said Mrs. Powendon with a smile, as she looked at Nan and Bert. "Oh, no!" exclaimed Bert "Indeed we weren't sorry! We're going to have fine times!" Then Mrs. Powendon sat down and began talking to Mr. and Mrs.
