"In the trunk, of course," Freddie insisted. "Well, I have to carry a box of ferns," said Flossie; "I'm going to take them for the porch. There are no ferns around the salt water, mamma says." So each child had his or her own pet remembrances to carry away from Meadow Brook. "We had better go and invite the girls for this afternoon," Nan said to Flossie.
"I'm sure I hope so," was the answer. As Mrs. Bobbsey was hurrying down the front walk Flossie and Freddie saw her. "Where are you going, mamma?" they called. "Down to papa's office," she answered. "There's a fire near his place, and " "Oh, a fire! Then I'm going!" cried Freddie. "Fire! Fire! Ding, dong! Turn on the water!" and he raced about quite excitedly. "Oh, I don't know," said Mrs.
I did not see her, but he told me of her, and of his twin boys, Jack and Giles, whom Flossie calls 'Jack and Gill. Roguish little bears he said they were, with all their mother's Irish in them, even to her brogue. He has grown stout with years, and seemed very happy, as he deserves to be.
But Tommy Todd, who was sitting behind Charley, slid forward as the other boy rolled off, and now Tommy grasped the steering wheel with all his might. He twisted it around, to send the bob-sled away from Flossie and Freddie, who were almost under the runners now. Bert, who saw what was about to happen, was ringing the bell as hard as he could.
'A pleasant walk, Ella? inquired her mother, with rather formal interest. 'Yes, very, replied Ella, trusting she would not be questioned further. 'I believe I know where you went! cried indiscreet Flossie. 'You went to look at your new home now, didn't you? Ah, I thought so! I suppose you have quite made up your minds how you mean to do the rooms? 'Quite.
Bobbsey, as she held out the cup. "Hold on to the seats as you walk along." "I'll carry the cup," said Freddie. "I'm the biggest." "You are not!" declared his sister quickly. "I'm just as big." "Well, anyhow, I'm a boy," went on Freddie, and Flossie could not deny this. "And boys always carries things," her brother went on. "I'll carry the cup."

"Hush, dear," said Nan in a low voice "Listen to Mr. Carford's story." "That isn't a story," insisted Flossie. "He didn't begin it right. He must say: 'Once upon a time, a good many years ago !" Mr.
I've had a hard day and I want to forget for a bit that there's any such thing as work." Miss Montressor raised her glass and winked at her host. "It don't take much drinking, this, General," she remarked, cheerily draining her glass! "Different to the 'pop' they give us down at the 'Star, eh, Flossie? Good old gooseberry I call that!" "Da Souza, look after Miss Flossie," Trent said.
"When can we go?" broke in Freddie, at a single hint that the missive contained an invitation to visit Meadow Brook, the home of Aunt Sarah in the country. "Now be patient, children," the mother told them. "I'll read the invitation in just a minute," and she kept her eyes fastened on the blue paper in a way that even to Freddie and Flossie meant something very interesting.
"I like little monkeys best, even if one did pull my hat to pieces," went on Flossie. "Oh, I wish to-morrow would hurry up and come." To-morrow finally did come, after the Bobbsey twins had gone to bed, though when it came it was to-day instead of to-morrow. But that's the way it always happens, doesn't it?
