Either/Or, passage 6

"Are you tired, dearie?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey, leaning forward and smoothing out her daughter's hair with her hand. "If you would like to sit with me and put your head in my lap, papa can go to another seat and--"

Either/Or, passage 802

"I hope so," was the answer. "But I can't really do anything. We just have to depend on the sled, you know."

Either/Or, passage 272

"No, you mustn't do that," said Nan, "Don't you remember how you once tried to jump a hundred, and you fainted?"

Either/Or, passage 912

"Oh, have you got something good?" asked Nan, for she saw a queer little twinkle in her father's eyes, and she knew that this generally meant a treat of some kind.

Either/Or, passage 781

"All ready for the race," cried Danny, as he got his sled in position. "Who's going down with me?"

Either/Or, passage 853

"Come on, men!" cried Mr. Bobbsey, as he saw some of his workmen in the crowd. "Help me save the boats!"

Either/Or, passage 553

"I should say not!" said the man at the stamp window. "If he does Uncle Sam will be after him."

Either/Or, passage 173

On and on went the Bobbsey family, and soon Bert happened to look back, and gave a whistle of surprise.

Either/Or, passage 655

"We've had a lovely time!" said the boys and girls to Flossie and Freddie, as they left.

Either/Or, passage 166

Either/Or, passage 572

Then a chair would be taken away, so as always to have one less than the number of players, and the game went on. It was great fun, scrambling to see who would get a seat, and not be left without one, and finally there but one chair left, while Grace Lavine and John Blake marched about. Mrs. Bobbsey kept playing quite some time, as the two went around and around that one chair. Everyone was laughing, wondering who would get a seat and so win the game, when, all at once, Mrs. Bobbsey stopped the music. She had her back turned so it would be perfectly fair.

Either/Or, passage 913

"I have some good news, if you would like to hear it," he said, as he drew a letter from his pocket.

Either/Or, passage 337

"I don't know. There is a new teacher in the kindergarten, though, where Flossie and Freddie will go. Nellie Parks has met her, and says she's awfully nice."

Either/Or, passage 400

The ice cream in the funny little cones was much enjoyed by all. Bert and Charley walked on together eating, and talking of the bob sled they were going to make. They passed Danny Rugg, who looked rather enviously at them.

Either/Or, passage 323

Poor little Bobbsey twins! But then it was not a very severe punishment, and really some was needed. It was hard when two of their little playmates came and called for them to come out. But Mrs. Bobbsey insisted on the two remaining in until the hour was at an end.

Either/Or, passage 42

"Only in a circus," said Flossie "She'd make--make two of Dinah," went on her brother.

"Of course I do. But I want that silver cup very much, too. I hope your father finds it."

Either/Or, passage 866

"I did; and the question is who was smoking?" went on the chief. "In my opinion the end of a cigarette thrown aside, or perhaps a lighted match dropped in some corner, started this fire. Who was smoking?"

Either/Or, passage 189

"Maybe he would--if he was a kind man," suggested Freddie. "We could tell him how it was, and how we lost our cat--"

Either/Or, passage 170

"He is?" exclaimed Mr. Bobbsey. "That's queer. He must have taken a sudden liking to us. But I guess he'll go back where he belongs pretty soon. Are you getting tired, little Fat Fireman? And you, my Fat Fairy?"

Either/Or, passage 740

"It isn't that kind of smoke," went on Mr. Tetlow. "It is tobacco smoke. Have any of you boys been smoking during recess?" he asked sternly, looking across the room.

Either/Or, passage 91

Sa good-byes were said to the ocean, and though Dorothy Minturn cried a little when her cousins Nan and Flossie, and Bert and Freddie, had to leave, still she said she hoped they would come again. And so the Bobbseys were on their way home in the train when the circus accident happened that brought them to a stop.

At this Flossie burst into tears, and Mrs. Bobbsey, putting her arms about the little girl, said to her husband:

Either/Or, passage 314

Snap raced about and barked, and seemed to be having all sorts of fun, but jump he would not until he got ready. Then, when he did, Freddie accidentally lowered the nozzle and Snap was soaked.

Either/Or, passage 544

"And we're going to have candy!" cried Freddie, when the arrangements were talked over.

Either/Or, passage 359

"I won't, Nan--if I can help it. At least I won't hit first, but if he hits me---"

Either/Or, passage 559

"I 'clar t' gracious goodness!" Dinah exclaimed, "I suah will get thin ef dish yeah keeps up! I ain't set down a minute dis' blessed day. My feet'll drop off soon I 'spect."

Either/Or, passage 283

"You can't take our dog away!" cried Freddie, coming up just then. "Don't you dare do it, Danny Rugg."

Either/Or, passage 898

"Yes, I guess that does make a difference," admitted Nan. "I wonder if papa wouldn't let us go down to the railroad office and inquire once more about him? Maybe, as it's getting cold weather now, Snoop will come in from the fields where he may have been staying ever since the railroad wreck."

Either/Or, passage 7

"Oh, no, mamma, I'm not as tired as that," and Nan laughed. "I was just wondering how soon we'd be home."

Either/Or, passage 253

"Oh, a fire! Then I'm going!" cried Freddie. "Fire! Fire! Ding, dong! Turn on the water!" and he raced about quite excitedly.

Either/Or, passage 531

"I am very sorry to have to punish you two twins," said the principal, "but I had given strict orders that no one was to play with that water. Why did you do it?"

Either/Or, passage 44

A sway of the train nearly made Flossie fall, and she caught quickly at her brother.

Either/Or, passage 798

The two larger boys took their places behind the bobs. They slowly shoved them to the edge of the hill, held them there a moment, and, at a nod to each other, shoved them down evenly.

Either/Or, passage 517

At school several days in the following week little was talked of except the picnic, the snake scare from the old tree root, the catching of the fish, and the illness of Harry White, for that boy was quite sick by the time town was reached, and Mr. Tetlow called a carriage to send him home.

Either/Or, passage 667

Danny did not say anything. He looked from the button to Bert, and then at the space on his coat where a button should have been, but where one was missing.

Either/Or, passage 447

"Here, Snap! Snap!" called Freddie. "Come on, old fellow!" and the dog leaped all about him.

Either/Or, passage 241

"That's it!" cried Mr. Bobbsey. "I wonder I did not think of it before. The dog must have escaped from the wrecked circus train, and he followed us, not knowing what else to do. That accounts for his tricks."

Either/Or, passage 916

It was too long to put it all in here, but it went on to say how the fat lady really had the valuable silver cup belonging to the twins.

Either/Or, passage 852

There was a sailing craft, a number of rowboats, and a small gasoline launch in the boat-house. They had been stored away for the winter.

"When you go back, George," said the principal to the boy, as he gave him what the teacher had sent for, "go to Miss Hegan's class, and have her send Danny Rugg to me. Flossie and Freddie say he told them to spray water with one of the new faucets."

Either/Or, passage 773

As they hauled it from the barn where it had been made, and started to pull it to the hill, there were many laughs at the odd homemade affair. For Bert and Charley had done most of the work themselves, and it was rather rough.

Either/Or, passage 888

Danny was accused by his father of having been smoking in the boathouse just before the fire, and Danny was so miserable, and so surprised at being caught in the barn, that he made a full confession. Tearfully he told the story, how he and some other boys, finding the boathouse unlocked, for some unknown reason, had gone in, and smoked to their heart's content.
