“And take us?” asked Bert.
“All of us!” cried Freddie.
Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey looked at one another.
“Would you like to go?” asked Mr. Bobbsey of his wife.
“Where could we stay?” she inquired.
“There is a large log cabin that one of my foremen used to live in,” Mr. Bobbsey answered. “The cabin is empty, and we could stay there as long as the weather did not get too cold, and as long as there were no bad storms. I really ought to go right to the woods, so that if I cannot get on the track of the lost shipment of Christmas trees I can start the men to cutting others. So we might as well all go.”
“Oh, what fun!” cried the Bobbsey twins.
Since that first fall of snow, which did not last very long, there had been no storms in the region of Lakeport, and Mr. Bobbsey thought he could get to Cedar Camp and return with his family before the really severe winter weather set in. He did not believe it would take long to look up the matter of the delayed shipment of the Christmas trees and straighten it out.
So it was settled, and a few days later, when plans had been completed, the Bobbsey family started for Cedar Camp.
