"And Snoop, too," put in Nan.

"Yes, Snoop too."

One fact consoled the Bobbseys in their trouble over their lost
pet and cup. This was the answer received by Mr. Bobbsey from Mr.
Peterson. That gentleman had lost a valuable dog, but it was a
small poodle, and unlike big Snap. So far no one had claimed the
trick dog, and it seemed likely that the children could keep him.
They were very glad about this.

"Oh dear!" exclaimed Bert, one afternoon a few days following the
fun with the hose, "school begins Monday. Only three more days of
vacation!"

"I think you have had a long vacation," returned Mrs. Bobbsey,
"and if Freddie and Flossie are going to do such tricks as they
did the other day, with the hose, I, for one, shall be glad that
you are in school."

"I like school," said Nan, "There are a lot of new girls coming
this term, I hear."

"Any new fellows?" asked Bert, more interested.

"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."

"That's good," spoke Flossie. "I like nice teachers."
