"Yes, and I'll help you," returned Harry.




CHAPTER XIV

AT SNOW LODGE


"Are we all here?"

"Have we got everything?"

"Here, Snap! If you jump out again you can't go!"

"Dinah, you hold Snap, will you?"

"Good lan' chile! I'se got about all I kin do to hold mah own self!"

These were some of the cries and exclamations as the Bobbsey family
prepared to start on the trip to Snow Lodge. With the exception of Nan
and Bert, and Dorothy and Harry, they were all in a big sled, drawn by
four horses that were prancing about in the snow, anxious to get
started. At every step the bells jingled. Sam, the colored man, was
driving. With him on the front seat sat fat Freddie.

"I'm going to drive, as soon as we get out on the country road!" cried
Freddie.
