"The Bobbsey Twins in Washington"

Bobbsey look for the missing
children could find them.
"Well, this is certainly queer!" exclaimed Mr. Bobbsey, when at none of
the houses was there any word of Flossie and Freddie.
"But what are we to do?" cried his wife.
"I think we'd better notify the police," said Mr. Bobbsey. "That will be
the surest way."
"Yes, I think it will," agreed the auto man. "I telephoned to the
office, but they said no lost children had been turned in. Get aboard,
every one, and I'll drive to the nearest police station."
Away started the big auto, leaving Flossie and Freddie behind in the
home of Tom Walker on the next street. And though Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey,
with Nan and Bert and Billy and Nell were much worried, Flossie and
Freddie themselves, were having a good time.
For they were playing with Tom, who showed them his toys, and he told
them about the rabbits he used to keep.
"I have had as many as six big ones at a time," Tom said. "And I had one
pair that had the finest red eyes you ever saw."
"Red eyes!" cried Flossie. "What funny rabbits they must have been!"
"Oh, I know some rabbits have red eyes," declared Freddie.
