XXII. LITTLE JACK HORNER--GOOD-BYE




THE BOBBSEY TWINS IN THE COUNTRY





CHAPTER I

THE INVITATION


"There goes the bell! It's the letter carrier! Let me answer!" Freddie
exclaimed.

"Oh, let me! It's my turn this week!" cried Flossie.

"But I see a blue envelope. That's from Aunt Sarah!" the brother cried.

Meanwhile both children, Freddie and Flossie, were making all possible
efforts to reach the front door, which Freddie finally did by jumping
over the little divan that stood in the way, it being sweeping day.

"I beat you," laughed the boy, while his sister stood back,
acknowledging defeat.
