Bobbsey. "We mustn't stay too
late now on account of having left mother and Freddie and Flossie at the
hotel. I think you've seen enough for the first evening."
So, after another little trip about the corridors, Bert and Nan followed
their father outside and down the flight of broad steps.
"Say, this would be a great place to slide down with a sled if there was
any ice or snow!" exclaimed Bert.
"They wouldn't let him, would they, Daddy?" asked Nan.
"Hardly," answered her father.
"Well, I can have fun some other way," Bert said. "I wish I could find
Miss Pompret's dishes and get the hundred dollars."
"So do I!" sighed Nan.
But their father shook his head and told them not to hope or think too
much about such a slim chance as that.
Flossie and Freddie were in bed and asleep when Mr. Bobbsey and Bert and
Nan reached the hotel again, and, after a little talk with their mother,
telling her what they had seen, the two older Bobbsey twins "turned in,"
as Bert called it, having used this expression when camping on Blueberry
Island, and taking the voyage on the deep, blue sea.
Because they were rather tired from their trip, none of the Bobbseys
arose very early the next morning.
