THE BOBBSEY TWINS AT THE COUNTY FAIR
CHAPTER I
THE BROKEN BRIDGE
"Aren't you glad, Nan? Aren't you terrible glad?"
"Why, of course I am, Flossie!"
"And aren't you glad, too, Bert?" Flossie Bobbsey, who had first asked
this question of her sister, now paused in front of her older brother.
She looked up at him smiling as he cut away with his knife at a soft
piece of wood he was shaping into a boat for Freddie. "Aren't you
terrible glad, Bert?"
"I sure am, Flossie!" Bert answered, with a laugh. "What makes you ask
such funny questions?"
"Well, if you're glad why doesn't you wiggle like I do?" asked Flossie,
without answering Bert. "I feel just like wigglin' and squigglin' inside
and outside!" she added.
"Well, wiggle as much as you please, dear, but don't get your dress
dirty, whatever you do," advised Nan, with the air of a little mother,
for she felt that she must look after her smaller sister, since Mrs.
Bobbsey was not there to do it.
"Oh, I won't get my dress dirty!" laughed Flossie. "'Cause if I do----"
"'Cause if you do you can't go to the picnic!" finished Freddie, who was
so interested in watching brother Bert make the little wooden ship that
he forgot all about talking.
