"No," agreed his father. "But this does very well. This is not a
business building, and there is no special hurry in getting to the top."
But at last they reached the end of their journey and stepped out of the
elevator cage into a little room. There were windows on the sides, and
from there the children could look out.
"It's awful high up," said Nan, as she peeped out.
"Not as high as the Woolworth Building," stated Bert, who had jotted
down the figures in a little book he carried.
Flossie and Freddie had gone around to the other side of the elevator
shaft with their mother, to look from the windows nearest the river,
and, a moment later, Mr. Bobbsey, Nan and Bert heard a cry of:
"Oh, Flossie! Flossie! Look out! There it goes!"
CHAPTER XIII
A STRAY CAT
MR. BOBBSEY, who was standing near Bert and Nan, turned quickly as he
heard his wife call and ran around to her side.
"What's the matter?" he called. "Has Flossie fallen?"
But one look was enough to show him that the two little Bobbsey twins
and their mother were all right. But Flossie was without her hat, and
she had been wearing a pretty one with little pink roses on it.
