"But your little boy made me promise to bring Billy to dis hotel to-day and here I am, 'cordin' to promise." "Yes, I see you kept your word," and Mrs. Bobbsey could not help smiling. "But really we have no place to keep a goat here, and we could hardly take it to Lakeport with us. So I'm afraid Freddie will have to do without it." "All right," said Mike good-naturedly, as he took the dollar.
"I hope he can stay until there's more snow." Uncle Daniel, with Aunt Sarah and Harry, had come from Meadow Brook to pay a visit in Lakeport, just as Cousin Dorothy had come from the seashore some time before. A little later, when Freddie had on dry clothes, he and Bert, with Harry and Charley, went out in the barn to play. Nan had to go to the store for her mother.
"Now, children, don't argue. Look out of the windows," advised their mother. And while the circus men are trying to catch the escaped animals I will tell you something more about the Bobbseys, and about the other books, before this one, relating to their doings. Mr. Richard Bobbsey, and his wife Mary, the parents of the Bobbsey twins, lived in an Eastern city called Lakeport, on Lake Metoka. Mr.
Mason's cruel treatment any longer, so I ran away. I did see you two boys that time I got a shaking," Frank admitted. "You were in an automobile then," he went on, "and Mr. Bobbsey was with you." He looked around as though in search of the twins' father. "Mr. Bobbsey had to go back to Lakeport on business," explained Mrs. Bobbsey. "We came over from Meadow Brook to the circus here to-day.
"I came all the way to Lakeport for that," the stranger went on; "but I didn't mean to come in just this exciting way." "Were you in the wreck?" asked Mr. Bobbsey. "Oh, yes, he was in it, and he thought a banana was his satchel!" exclaimed Flossie, "Wasn't that funny, Daddy?" Mr. Bobbsey did not quite know what to make of this. "Your little girl is quite right," said the man.
"And I might never have found you if I hadn't been in the train wreck and met the Bobbsey twins," said Mr. Hickson. "Coming to Lakeport was the best thing I ever did." "How's everything back in Lakeport?" asked Bert of Mr. Hickson, after the first greetings between father and sons were over. "Oh, just about the same," was the answer, "We haven't had any more train wrecks, thank goodness."
"Well then, now I know where I am and I know what to do. Do you think you can walk along with me?" "Oh, we're not tired now," said Freddie. "We've had a nice rest in here. But do you know the way to our house?" "I know the way to Lakeport. I had forgotten about these meadows. You see it was a good many years ago and I did not live in Lakeport long before I went away. But now I know where I am.
Nan and Flossie weeded his garden as well as their own and showed they loved to see things grow, for they did not mind the work of attending to them. "Papa will come up from Lakeport to-night," Nan told Flossie; "and won't he be pleased to see our gardens!" That evening when Mr. Bobbsey arrived the first thing he had to do was to visit the garden. "Why, I declare!" he exclaimed in real surprise.
Thanksgiving, too, would be a time of rejoicing and of good things to eat, and this occasion was to be made more of than usual this time, for some boys and girls the Bobbseys had met in the country and at the seashore were to be invited to spend a few days in Lakeport. But before this there was another event down on the program.
In due time they arrived in Lakeport, and when Flossie and Freddie rushed into the house, almost knocking down dear old fat Dinah, they found Splash, the big dog, waiting for them. And Splash did really knock Flossie down, he was so glad to see her. But she was so fat that, really, falling just to the floor did not hurt her at all.
