“Sure we will!” piped up Silas.
“I wish you would,” returned Mr. Bobbsey, and he prepared to set out again with Nan and Bert in the automobile.
They bade good-bye to the kind farmer and his wife and to his talkative son, and were soon out of the woods and on the main highway. Mr. Bobbsey did not think it would be of any use to try further to locate the strange woman, so he drove directly back to Lakeport.
“My, you had an adventure, didn’t you?” exclaimed Mrs. Bobbsey, when the twins and their father arrived.
“I should say we did!” ejaculated Nan.
“But it was jolly fun!” laughed Bert. “Even when the horse tried to stick his head in through the side curtains.”
“Tell me about it!” begged Freddie.
“I want to hear, too,” said Flossie. “And Baby May has a new tooth—she has!”
“Yes, we heard about that over the telephone,” laughed Nan.
The smaller twins were delighted to hear the account of the adventures of Nan and Bert in the night, and Freddie declared that the next time his father went on a trip like that he was going too.
