The Bobbsey Twins at Cedar Camp

by Laura Lee Hope

So Bert started out, Mrs. Bimby showing him the direction he was to take. It was still snowing a little, but he hoped it would soon stop.

OLD JIM DELIGHTED THE TWINS.

CHAPTER XVII—TRYING AGAIN

Though Flossie and Freddie had what they called “good times” in the log cabin at Cedar Camp, and though Old Jim played with them, making boats and dolls of wood, still the small Bobbsey twins wished for the time to come when they might go out of doors. They also began to wish for the return of Bert and Nan.

“When will they come, Mother?” Flossie asked over and over again.

“And bring us chestnuts!” teased Freddie.

“Oh, they’ll come soon now,” Mrs. Bobbsey said, as she looked out of the window at the flakes of snow, still falling, and listened to the whistle of the cold wind around the cabin.

And in her heart how very much Mrs. Bobbsey wished that Bert and Nan would come back soon! Mr. Bobbsey wished the same thing, and the only comfort the father and mother had in those worrisome days was the thought that their older twins must have found shelter somewhere in the woods.
