Well, I don't blame you, boy, for bringing dat cat along. An' say," and the porter leaned down to the frightened Freddie, "it's against orders, but I'd jest like to take dis yer kitten back in de kitchen and treat him, for he's he's a star!" and he fondled Snoop closer.
"Oh, you meant all right, my dear," said his mamma, "and it was very kind of you. But we really ought to start. We may miss a trolley. Come, Dinah, can you carry all you have?" "'Deed an' I can, Mrs. Bobbsey. But I suah am sorry 'bout dat ar' Snoop." "Oh, it wasn't your fault, Dinah," said Nan quickly. "He is getting to be such a big cat that he can easily push the slats off his box, now.
"Yes, dear, of course. I don't know what's the matter with you two children. You never used to dispute this way." "I guess the long train ride is tiring them," said Papa Bobbsey, looking up from the paper he was reading. "Anyhow, half of Snoop, our black cat, is mine then," said Freddie. "Isn't she, Mother?" "Yes. And now please don't talk like that any more.
Not even the tricks of Snap and Snoop, when Freddie and Flossie put the dog and cat through them before going to bed, would cause their older brother and sister to look happy. "Never mind," said Mamma Bobbsey, "when we get to Snow Lodge you'll have such a good time that you won't mind not having made the trip on skates or on the ice-boat. And you can skate all you like when you get up there."
Martin, telling of the coming of the Bobbsey twins to Washington, after a short stay in New York. The children said good-bye to Dinah and Sam, as well as to Snap and Snoop, and then one day they were taken to the railroad station in the automobile. "All aboard!" cried the conductor, as the Bobbseys scrambled into the coach of the train that was to take them to New York. "All aboard!"
He did not seem to be afraid of the brilliant flashes. "No, it's light when the flashes come," said his mother. "But I want you all to stay here with me. It is raining very hard." "I should say it was!" exclaimed Harry, as he heard the swish of the drops against the windows of the houseboat. "Is Snap all right, mamma?" asked Flossie. "And Snoop? I wouldn't want them out in the storm."
But finally the meal was over and then came more joyous times. Sam received his presents, and Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey had time to look at theirs, for Santa Claus had not forgotten them. "And there's something for Snap, and for Snoop, too!" exclaimed Freddie.
Now in our last book, "The Bobbsey Twins in the Country," we told about the trip to Meadow Brook in the Pullman car, and how Snoop, the kitten, got out of his box, and had some queer experiences. This time our friends were traveling in the car with the ordinary passengers, and, of course, as Bert said, there was more to be seen and the sights were different.
Bobbsey, as he went on reading: "'We are sorry about losing our trick dog, the fat lady wrote, 'but I picked up a big black cat when I walked out of the train. I brought him to Cuba with me, and I am teaching him tricks. He may be as valuable as our dog was." "A black cat!" cried Nan. "It's our Snoop!" shouted Freddie, "yes, that's it! The fat lady has our cat as well as our cup!
He had been holding it on his front paws as Snoop slid overboard, and, as he gave a jump, Snap did not come down on all four legs. He jumped while he was yet standing on his hind ones, and of course the doll went over the rail with him. "What has happened?" cried Mrs. Bobbsey, as she heard the screaming, and the splashes in the water. "Have any of the children fallen in?"
