Come out to the house,
all of you, and make me a nice visit. Can't you stay a day or so?"
Eagerly Nan and Bert waited for the answer, for they liked the
Washington children very much.
"Oh, no, we can't stay later than this evening," said Mr. Martin. "I've
got other business to look after. But I'll come out to dinner with you."
"Oh, we'll have lots of fun!" whispered Nan to Nell. "You'll just love
Flossie--she's so cute!"
"I'll show you my dog Snap," said Bert to Billy. "You ought to have seen
him scare a strange dog just before we came down here."
"I like dogs," said Billy. "We could have one in Washington if we had a
barn to keep him in."
"We've got a barn," went on Bert. "You ought to have seen what happened
there this morning to Flossie and Freddie," and then he told about the
little twins having been hidden under the hay.
Mr. Bobbsey's automobile was in the lumberyard, and in this the trip was
quickly made to the home of the four twins, after Mrs. Bobbsey had been
told, by telephone, that company was coming
Nell and Billy were glad to see Flossie and Freddie, and the six
children had fun playing around the house and barn with Snoop and Snap.
