Either/Or, passage 498

The littler Bobbsey twins were glad enough to do this. Then they had to have a drink, and Nan went with them to the spring, carrying a glass tumbler she had brought.

Either/Or, passage 45

"I didn't mean to," spoke Flossie. "Oh, there goes my hat! Get it, Freddie, before someone steps on it!"

Either/Or, passage 813

On and on came Bert's bob, the _Flier_. It was a little ahead of Danny's now, and the latter, seeing this, steered over, thinking the going was better there.

Either/Or, passage 20

"Oh, we have so!" cried his little sister. "Freddie Bobbsey!" and she pointed her finger at him.

Either/Or, passage 843

"Well, I declare!" exclaimed Mr. Bobbsey, in surprise. "So you got dressed too, did you?"

Either/Or, passage 382

Perhaps it was the thought of what Bert had seen fall from Danny's pocket that made the bully less anxious to keep up the quarrel. At any rate, Bert was left alone and he was glad of it. He was not afraid, but he liked peace.

Either/Or, passage 293

The water got in his eyes and mouth, and for a moment he could not see. But with his handkerchief he soon had his eyes cleared, and then he came running toward Bert.

Either/Or, passage 429

Either/Or, passage 766

"I'm sure she will," agreed Bert. "And we'll put some carpet on the top of the main board, for a cushion for some of the girls." His chum agreed that this would be a good plan, and so the bob was made very attractive for the girls.

Either/Or, passage 536

"If that is the case, Danny is the one to be punished," he said. "I am sorry, Flossie and Freddie, that I suspected you. You may go back to your class, and I will write your teacher a note, saying you may go out half an hour ahead of the others to make up for coming to my office. But, after this, no matter whether anyone tells you or not, don't spray the water."

Either/Or, passage 907

On the way back to Mr. Bobbsey's office the trolley car got off the track, on account of so much snow on the rails, and the children spent some time watching the men get it back, the electricity from the wire and rails making pretty flashes of blue fire.

Either/Or, passage 233

Snap barked, ran back a little way, turned around and came racing straight for the twins. At that moment Sam Johnson came up running, a stick in his hand.

Either/Or, passage 712

"I love it in the Summer," said Nan, "but in the Winter it seems so cold and cruel."

Either/Or, passage 257

That was enough for Freddie. He did not want the new pet to get lost, so he did not make a fuss when Sam came hurrying up to lock Snap in the stable. Poor Snap howled, for he wanted very much to go with the children.

Either/Or, passage 924

"Then we'll have to give him up I suppose," and Mrs. Bobbsey sighed, for she had grown very much attached to the fine animal.

Either/Or, passage 375

As he did so a white box fell from his pocket. Bert knew what kind of a box it was, and what was in it, and he knew now, what had stained Danny's fingers so yellow, and what made his clothes have such a queer smell. For the box had in it cigarettes.

Either/Or, passage 521

"Whoever is caught playing with the faucets in the yard after this will be severely punished," he said.

Either/Or, passage 231

"Let's see if he can do any more," said Freddie. "There's a barrel hoop over there. Maybe he'll jump through it if we hold it up."

Either/Or, passage 567

"My!" she cried, with a good-natured laugh, as she noticed how "stiff" the children were. "This will never do. You're not that way at school, I don't believe. Come, be lively. Mix up--play games. Pretend this is recess at school, and make as much noise as you like."

Either/Or, passage 908

"What luck?" asked Mr. Bobbsey, as the three came in his private office, their faces shining and red with the glow of winter.

Either/Or, passage 826

"That must be near here. Guess I'll look. It's a windy night and a fire in my lumber yard would be very bad."

Either/Or, passage 312

"All right," agreed her little brother. "I'll squirt the water out straight, and you stand on one side of it and call Snap over. Then he'll jump."

Either/Or, passage 191

Either/Or, passage 709

So I will simply say that there was the grandest time ever, and let it go at that. Uncle and Aunt Bobbsey--Uncle and Aunt Minturn, from the country and seashore, came, with Cousin Dorothy and Cousin Harry. Then, also, Hal Bingham arrived, and the Bobbsey twins took great delight in showing their former playmates about Lakeport.

Either/Or, passage 145

For a moment Mr. Bobbsey thought of the wild animals of the circus. In spite of what the men had said perhaps one of the beasts might have escaped from its cage. The others in the little party evidently thought the same thing. Mrs. Bobbsey drew her children more closely about her.

Either/Or, passage 626

Hurrying on after Bert, the boys looked eagerly about in the darkness for a sign of the missing ice cream. There were not many chances of them finding it, for though Bert's electric torch gave a brilliant light for a short distance, it was not very large.

Either/Or, passage 304

"You'd better get out of the way," went on Bert quietly. "I want to sprinkle that flower bed near where you are, and if you'll there you might get wet, and it wouldn't be my fault."

Either/Or, passage 569

Then how the children laughed and clapped their hands! And Snap barked so loudly--for he liked applause--that there was noise enough for even jolly Aunt Sarah. After that there was no trouble. The boys and girls talked together and soon they were playing games, and having the best kind of fun.

Either/Or, passage 138

"Well, Snoop is a good cat, anyhow," went on Flossie, "and I wish we had him back."

Either/Or, passage 315

But the dog did not mind the water in the least. In fact he seemed to like it, for the day was warm, and he stood still and let Freddie wet him all over. Then Snap rolled about on the lawn, Freddie and Flossie taking turns sprinkling.

Either/Or, passage 48

Freddie, carrying the cup, filled it with water at the little faucet, and, very politely, offered it to his sister first. Freddie was no better than most boys of his age, but he did not forget some of the little polite ways his mamma was continually teaching him. One of these was "ladies first," though Freddie did not always carry it out, especially when he was in a hurry.

Either/Or, passage 70

"A circus; eh?" said Mr. Bobbsey. "Well, well! This is an adventure, children. We've run into a circus train! Let's watch them catch the animals."

Either/Or, passage 260

Either/Or, passage 535

All of the Bobbsey twins--Nan, Bert, Flossie and Freddie--looked so serious over the prospect of losing Snap that Mr. Bobbsey had to laugh. He just couldn't help it.

The weather was getting cooler. Several nights there had been heavy frosts, and for some time the papers had been saying that it was going to snow, but the white flakes did not sift down from the sky.

Either/Or, passage 128

"I'm afraid we can't get him," said Mrs. Bobbsey, gently. "Come, children, let's go home now, and leave it to papa. Oh, to think of your lovely silver cup being gone!"

Either/Or, passage 198

Either/Or, passage 193

"My! This has been a mixed-up day!" sighed Mr. Bobbsey. "I really don't know what to do."

Either/Or, passage 368

But I am not going to tire you with an account of what went on in the classrooms. There were mostly lessons there, such as you have yourselves, and I know you don't care to read about them.

Either/Or, passage 716

"Snoop's gone," said Freddie, "and so is our silver cup, but maybe we'll get that back. It's in a circus."

Either/Or, passage 904

But to their disappointment there was no news of Snoop. The fat, black cat seemed to have completely disappeared.

Either/Or, passage 750

Nan did not know all the trouble and misery a big snow storm can cause, so she may be forgiven for wishing for one. She only saw the side of it that meant fun for her and her friends.
