“Aw, I only wanted a ride an’ I got it!”
“Yes, and Freddie had one too!” laughed Sam Miller.
Nick walked away, and then the younger Bobbsey twins again started coasting, Freddie taking Flossie’s sled back to her.
It was still snowing when noon came, and Flossie and Freddie had to go home to lunch. They found Bert and Charlie busy making a bobsled in the back yard. The older boys were fastening together their sleds by a long plank, and Nan was helping by tacking some strips of carpet on the plank.
“Oh, can we ride on that?” asked Freddie.
“Maybe,” said his brother. “How’s the little hill?”
“Nice,” Freddie answered.
“An’ you ought to’ve seen Nick Malone take my sled and Freddie jump on his back!” cried Flossie.
“Is that fellow bothering you two again?” demanded Bert, looking up with a hammer in his hand. “I’ll get after him, that’s what I will!”
“Freddie got after him,” explained Flossie. “Oh, I’m so glad it snows! We’re going coasting some more after dinner.”
