Either/Or, passage 705

The little twins guessed other friends and relatives, and finally Mrs. Bobbsey said:

Either/Or, passage 879

One afternoon Danny's father, Mr. Rugg, came home unexpectedly, and, wanting something that was out in his barn went to get it. As he entered the place he heard a scramble of feet, some excited whispers, and then silence. He was sure that some one was in the place and had run to hide.

Either/Or, passage 944

They all looked anxiously at Snap. The dog glanced at the cat, stretched lazily and wagged his tail. Snoop came over to him, and the two animals sniffed at each other, Mrs. Bobbsey holding Snap by the collar. Then, to the surprise of all, Snoop rubbed against the legs of the dog, and, on his part, Snap, wagging his tail in friendly, welcoming fashion, put out his red tongue and licked Snoop's fur.

Either/Or, passage 677

"Wasn't it?" asked Bert, quietly. "Well, you just ask Charley Mason, or any of the fellows who were at the party, what we found in the freezer, and see what they say."

Either/Or, passage 717

"In a circus!" cried Harry. "I should think your cat might be in a circus, but not a silver cup."

Either/Or, passage 760

Other boys and girls too, threw the snowballs, but it was in good-natured fun, and no one was hurt. Some rough boys did use hard snowballs, but they were soon left to play among themselves, while the others amused themselves with soft and fluffy missiles, which, breaking as they hit, scattered the white stuff all over, harming no one.

Either/Or, passage 141

"I mean I've been listening for two or three minutes now, to some animal following after us along the path. Some big animal, too."

Either/Or, passage 205

"This is lovely," said Mrs. Bobbsey with a sigh of relief. She was more tired than she had thought.

Either/Or, passage 585

"All ready, now, children, sit down," said Mrs. Bobbsey. "Your names are at your plates."

Either/Or, passage 514

"Oh, we can't have them every week, my dears," said Miss Franklin, who had charge of Flossie, Freddie and some others in the kindergarten class. "Besides, it will soon be too cool to go out in the woods. In a little while we will have ice and snow, and Thanksgiving and Christmas."

Either/Or, passage 820

"Don't talk that way now," said Irving, who, with Frank Cobb had come to the end of the hill. "Bert beat you fair and square."

Either/Or, passage 102

"Well, I have some crackers and cookie in my bag," replied Mrs. Bobbsey. "You can eat those on the way. Nan, go tell Dinah that we're going to take a trolley. We can each carry something."

Either/Or, passage 29

"There's no cup," Nan said. "I went a little while ago, but a lady let me take her glass."

Either/Or, passage 633

"Well, I'm not sure, of course," admitted Bert. "But we can soon tell. Come on!"

Either/Or, passage 476

They found a number of the blossoms, and were making pretty bouquets of them, when Freddie, who had gone on a little ahead of the rest, came running back so fast that he nearly rolled to the bottom of the hill, so fat and chubby was he.

Either/Or, passage 854

All rushed forward willingly, and, as there was part of the place where the flames had not yet reached, they could make their way into the house. They began lowering the boats into the icy water, while the firemen played the several lines of hose on the flames.

Either/Or, passage 546

There were busy times in the home of the twins the next few days, for though Nan and Bert's birthdays were not to be observed, still they were to have their part in the jolly celebration.

Either/Or, passage 118

"Oh, but if we could only find Snoop!" cried Freddie. "Here, Snoop! Snoop!" he called.

Either/Or, passage 405

"Land sakes, chile! what yo' gwine t' do now?" asked the colored cook. "Make a kite, an' take Snoop up in de air laik yo' brother Bert done once?"

Either/Or, passage 583

"I guess they are sweet!" piped up Freddie in his shrill little voice, "'cause Dinah put lots of sugar in 'em; didn't you, Dinah?" and he looked at Dinah, who had thrust her laughing, black, good-natured face into the dining room door.

Either/Or, passage 562

"Let me answer, too," cried Freddie, and they both hurried through the front hall to greet the first guest at their party.

Either/Or, passage 76

Some of the big, flaring lights, used in the tents at night, had been set going so the circus and railroad men could see to work, and this glare gave the Bobbseys and other passengers on the train a chance to see what was going on.

Either/Or, passage 588

"No, dear," said Mrs. Bobbsey. "Snap is a good dog, but we don't want him in the dining room when we are eating. It gives him bad habits."

Either/Or, passage 743

"Well, I am sure someone here has," said Mr. Tetlow. "I can smell it plainly." He walked down the aisles, looking sharply from one boy to another. If he was sure who were the guilty ones he gave no sign. "And I want to add," said Mr. Tetlow, "that not only is cigarette smoking harmful to the smoker, but it is dangerous. Many fires have been caused in that way. If I find out who of my pupils have been smoking around the school they will be severely punished."

Either/Or, passage 846

The fire was now larger, as they could see when they got out in the street. There was no wind and the flames went straight up in the air. There were not many buildings down by the lake, only some boat shelters and places like that. The Bobbsey's boathouse was a fine large one, having recently been made bigger as Mr. Bobbsey was thinking of buying a new motor boat.

Either/Or, passage 365

"Children--children!" called the teacher. "You must not argue like that--ever--in school, or out of it. Now we will sing our work-song, and after that we will march with the flags," and she went to the piano to play. All the little ones liked this, and the dispute of Flossie and Freddie was soon forgotten.

Either/Or, passage 555

Flossie and Freddie were so worried about him that they told their mother, but she assured them that Danny would not come to spoil their fun.

Either/Or, passage 926

"'We are sorry about losing our trick dog,' the fat lady wrote, 'but I picked up a big black cat when I walked out of the train. I brought him to Cuba with me, and I am teaching him tricks. He may be as valuable as our dog was.'"

Either/Or, passage 825

It was in the middle of the night, when the Bobbsey household was awakened by the ringing of fire bells. They all heard the alarm, and as Papa Bobbsey counted the number, he said to his wife:

Either/Or, passage 364

"That isn't the way it was," spoke Freddie, from the other side of the room. "There was more sand at the seashore than on this whole table--yes, on ten tables like this."

Either/Or, passage 765

"She ought to go very fast!" exclaimed Charley, as they paused to look at their sled.

Either/Or, passage 829

Mr. Bobbsey laughed, though he was worried about the fire. It seemed so odd for Freddie to want to go out in the cold, dark night.

Either/Or, passage 336

"I like school," said Nan, "There are a lot of new girls coming this term, I hear."

Either/Or, passage 538

"I wish I had heard Danny telling you that--just to get you in trouble," said Bert, when he was told of what had happened. "I'd have fixed him."

Either/Or, passage 273

"Indeed I do," said Grace. "I'm not going to be so silly as to try that again. We'll only jump a little."

Either/Or, passage 889

They did not mean to cause the fire, and had no idea that they were to blame. One of the boys was made ill by too much smoking, and they all hurried away.

Either/Or, passage 459

"Oh, don't be so smart!" exclaimed Bert, stepping out from behind a group of girls. "I've told Mr. Tetlow myself that Snap is following us, and he said to let him come along. So you needn't take the trouble, Danny Rugg. And if you try to hit our dog I'll have something more to say," and Bert stepped boldly forth.

Either/Or, passage 436

The way to the woods where the little school outing was to be held ran close to the road on which the Bobbsey house stood. As Freddie and Flossie, with Nan and Bert, marched along with the others, Freddie cried out:

Either/Or, passage 182

"Go back! Go back, I say!" cried Papa Bobbsey in a loud voice. The dog did not move.

Either/Or, passage 379

"He did not--I slipped," said Danny. "I can fight him, and I will, too, some day."

Either/Or, passage 605

"Phonograph--I guess you mean telephone; don't you, Dinah?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey, with a smile.

Either/Or, passage 848

"Yes, indeed," was the answer. "I had a little fire there once, and I don't want another. But I'm afraid this is some of my property just the same."

Either/Or, passage 952

Still everyone agreed that the fat lady had done her training well. As for Snap, he and Snoop became firmer friends every day, and often the cat went to sleep on Snap's back, or between his forepaws as he lay stretched out in front of the fire.

Either/Or, passage 860

"My!" exclaimed Bert as his father came back to where he had left his son, "it didn't take long to settle that fire."

Either/Or, passage 38

"I 'spect he's lonesome; aren't you, Snoop?" asked Flossie, poking her finger in one of the cracks, to caress, as well as she could, a fat, black cat. The cat, like Dinah the cook, went with the Bobbseys on all their summer outings.

Either/Or, passage 358

"Don't you dare, Nan!" cried Bert. "All the fellows would call me 'sissy,' if I let you do that. Never mind, I can look out for my self. I'm not afraid of Danny."

Either/Or, passage 474

Nan was much shocked, but she did not say anything. She was glad Bert did not smoke.

Either/Or, passage 495

"I hope not," said Nan, but she and the others kept a sharp lookout. However, there was no further fright for them, and soon, with their hands filled with blossoms the Bobbseys and the others went back to the main party.

Either/Or, passage 216

"It's good to be home again," said Mr. Bobbsey, as he looked about the rooms of the town house.

Either/Or, passage 676

"I--I---" began Danny. "You're only trying to fool me!" he exclaimed. "That button wasn't in it at all!"
