Bobbsey. "But I don't imagine those two missing
pieces of Miss Pompret's set will be at Mount Vernon, Nan."
"No, I don't s'pose so," sighed the little girl. "But, oh, I would like
to find 'em!"
"And get the hundred dollars reward!" added Bert.
"Don't think too much of that," advised their mother. "Of course it
would be nice to find Miss Pompret's dishes, and do her a favor, but I
think it is out of the question after all these years that they have
been lost."
The weather was colder than on the day before, when Flossie and Freddie
had been lost, and the sun shone fitfully from behind clouds.
"I think we are going to have a snow storm," said Mr. Bobbsey, on their
way to take the boat for Mt. Vernon.
"Oh, goodie!" cried Flossie. "I hope it snows a lot!"
"So do I!" added Freddie. "Could we send home for our sled if there's
lots of snow, Daddy?" he asked.
"I hardly think it would be worth while," said his father. "We are not
going to be here much more than a week longer. And it would be quite a
lot of work to get your sleds here and send them home again. I think
you'll get all the coasting and skating you want when we get back to
Lakeport.
