"So'm I!" chimed in her brother Freddie. Uncle Daniel Bobbsey and his wife Sarah, with their son Harry, lived at Meadow Brook Farm. The Bobbsey twins had been there more than once, as those who have read the other books of this series will remember. And now it was proposed to go there again. "But we'll be at the fair more than we will be at Meadow Brook, sha'n't we?" asked Nan of her father. "Well, sort of betwixt and between," he answered, with a laugh. Uncle Daniel having been written to, said he would be delighted to have his brother and his brother's family come out for the remainder of the summer and early fall. And in about a week all preparations were made. The trip was to be made in the Bobbsey's big auto, and would take about a day. By starting early in the morning Meadow Brook Farm could be reached by night. From there it was only a short distance to Bolton where, each year, a big fair was held. "And if I see that Bob Guess I'll make him tell where daddy's coat is!" declared Bert. "And the lap robe, too!" added Nan. It was a fine, sunny day when the start was made. Into the auto piled the Bobbsey twins, with boxes and baskets of lunch. |
