"Do you think you will see him?"

"Yes, I imagine he'll follow this boy. He's a hard worker, Bob is, and
Blipper won't want to lose him. I shouldn't wonder but what he came on
after Bob."

"How will he know where to find him?" asked Bert, who heard what his
father and mother said.

"Oh, he can make inquiries along the way. But I'll do what I can for
Bob."

Bert and Nan, with Flossie and Freddie, had good times at the country
hotel. Their rooms were on a long corridor, and the twins raced up and
down this, playing tag and other games. No one seemed to mind.

At supper Bob ate a good meal, but did not talk much. And every time the
dining room door opened he looked around quickly, as if fearing to see
Mr. Blipper come in.

In the evening Mr. Bobbsey went down to the garage to see how the men
were progressing with the repairs to his car, for they had promised to
work all night. Bert went with his father.

"I guess you'll be able to go on in the morning, Mr. Bobbsey," the
garage man said.

"I hope so. My youngsters are anxious to get to Meadow Brook, and from
there go to the Bolton County Fair."
