line of work I never did before. I was just going to call on some of
the well-to-do people, and ask them to take Nellie. We had no funds,
and I felt so much depended on the change of air, I simply made up my
mind to go and do what I could."

"Then you can look in at my sister's first," said Mrs. Bobbsey. "If
she cannot accommodate you, perhaps she can tell who could. Now,
won't you come in the other car with us, and we can finish our journey
together?"

"Yes, indeed I will. Thank you," said the matron, gathering up her
belongings and making her way to the Bobbsey quarters in the other
car.

"Won't it be lovely to have Nellie with us!" Nan said to Flossie, as
they passed along. "I am sure Aunt Emily will say yes."

"So am I," said little Flossie, whose kind heart always went out when
it should. "I know surely they would not let Nellie die in the city
while we enjoy the seaside."

Freddie was awake now, and also glad to see Mrs. Manily.

"Where's Sandy?" he inquired at once. Sandy had been his little chum
from the Meadow Brook Camp.

"I guess he is having a nice time somewhere," replied Mrs. Manily.
"His aunt found him out, you know, and is going to take care of him
now."
