Freddie was with Bert as quickly as he could grab his cap off the
rack, and the two brothers promptly started for the station.

"I hope they bring peaches," Freddie said, thinking of the beautiful
peaches in the Meadow Brook orchard that had not been quite ripe when
the Bobbseys left the country for the seaside.

Numbers of people were crowded around the station when the boys got
there, as the summer season was fast waning, so that Bert and Freddie
had hard work to get a place near the platform for their cart.

"That's the train!" cried Bert. "Now watch out so that we don't miss
them in the crowd," and the older brother jumped out of the cart to
watch the faces as they passed along.

"There he is," cried Freddie, clapping his hands. "Harry! Harry! Aunt
Sarah!" he called, until everybody around the station was looking at
him.

"Here we are!" exclaimed Aunt Sarah the next minute, having heard
Freddie's voice, and followed it to the cart.

"I'm so glad you came," declared Bert to Harry.

"And I'm awfully glad you came," Freddie told Aunt Sarah, when she
stopped kissing him.

"But we cannot ride in that little cart," Aunt Sarah said, as Bert
offered to help her in.
