"I'm sure we'll be there before papa and mamma are," said Nan as they
glided along. "See how fast we are going."

"Yes, but this wind may not keep up all the way," spoke her brother.
"And it's a good ways to Snow Lodge."

"Oh, well, we'll have a good time, anyhow," said Dorothy.

"And we'll stop and build a fire and have lunch when we're hungry,"
added Harry, for they had brought some food with them, and could make
chocolate over a little fire.

Meanwhile the sled-load of the Bobbseys with their two colored
servants, and Snap was proceeding along the snowy road. The path had
been well broken, and the going was good, so they made fairly fast
time. But every now and then Snap would insist on jumping out to run
along the road, and every time he did this Flossie and Freddie would
set up a howl, fearing he would get lost.

"Snap!" exclaimed Mr. Bobbsey, when this had happened four or five
times, "if you don't stay here quietly I'll tie you fast. Lie down,
sir!"

Snap barked, wagged his tail, and looked at Mr. Bobbsey with his head
tilted to one side as much as to say:

"Very well sir. I'll be good now. But I did want a little run." Then
Snap curled up at Dinah's feet and gave no more trouble.
