Either/Or, passage 4

"Are you getting tired?" asked Nan's brother Bert. "If you are I'll sit next to the window, and watch the telegraph poles and trees go by. Maybe that's what tires you, Nan," he added, and his father smiled, for he saw that Bert had two thoughts for himself, and one for his sister.

Either/Or, passage 548

"My! what a lot of mail!" exclaimed the clerk at the stamp window, as he saw the children dropping the invitations into the slot. "Uncle Sam will have to get some extra men to carry that around, I guess. What's it all about?"

Either/Or, passage 891

"Well, Danny, I can't tell you how sorry I am," said Mr. Rugg, when the confession was over. "Sorry not only that Mr. Bobbsey's boathouse was burned, but because you have deceived me, and your good mother, and smoked in secret. I feel very badly about it."

Either/Or, passage 57

"Thank you," she answered. "What a kind little boy you are! I saw you give your sister a drink first, too. Yes, I would like a drink. I've been wanting one some time, but I didn't dare get up to go after it."

Either/Or, passage 305

"I'll fix you!" growled Danny, springing forward. Bert got ready with the hose, and there might have been more trouble, except that Sam, the colored man, came out on the lawn. He saw that something out of the ordinary was going on, and breaking into a run he called out:

Either/Or, passage 408

"Deah me! Yo' chilluns done make me do de mostest wuk!" complained Dinah, but she laughed, which showed that she did not really mean it, and set at mixing some flour and water for the paste.

Either/Or, passage 672

"Wait a minute," said Bert. "Suppose I say that this button was found in our freezer of ice cream, that you and some other boys took off our stoop the night of Flossie's and Freddie's party, Danny? What about that?"

Either/Or, passage 660

But there was nothing there to help him in his search. Some old boxes, placed in a sort of circle, showed where the ones who had taken the ice cream, had rested to eat it.

Either/Or, passage 394

"Of course I'll take them!" exclaimed Nellie, generously. "I've got fifty cents, I told you."

Either/Or, passage 593

Then the feast began, and such a feast at it was! Mrs. Bobbsey, knowing how easily the delicate stomachs of children can be upset, had wisely selected the food and sweets, and she saw to it that no one ate too much, though she was gently suggestive about it instead of ordering.

Either/Or, passage 98

"Not for some time, I'm afraid," spoke the ticket-taker. "The wreck is a worse one than I thought at first, and some of the cars of the circus train are across the track so we can't get by. We may be here two hours yet."

Either/Or, passage 381

Whether Danny Rugg was afraid the principal had seen him trying to force a fight on Bert, or whether the unexpected fall that came to him, caused it, no one knew, but certainly, for the next few days, Danny let Bert alone. When he passed him he scowled, or shook his fist, or muttered something about "getting even," but this was all.

Either/Or, passage 500

"No," she said, after she had taken het drink. "I wonder if papa will ever get that back?"

Either/Or, passage 488

"Why--why!" he exclaimed. "It isn't a snake at all! It's only an old black root of a tree, all twisted up like a snake! Look, Nan--Flossie!"

Either/Or, passage 116

Papa Bobbsey first looked for some of the circus men of whom he might inquire about the fat lady. There was much confusion, for a circus wreck is about as bad a kind as can happen, and for some time Mr. Bobbsey could find no one who could tell him what he wanted to know.

Either/Or, passage 296

Danny, too, had halted and was fairly glaring at Bert, who looked at him a bit anxiously. More than once he and the bully had come to blows, and sometimes Bert had gotten the best of it. Still he did not like a fight.

Either/Or, passage 710

"Isn't it lonesome at the seashore now?" asked Nan of Dorothy, as she walked with her cousin about the busy streets of the town.

Either/Or, passage 925

"Well, we won't have to send him back right away," said Mr. Bobbsey. "I will have to get more particulars. But I did not finish the fat lady's letter."

Either/Or, passage 612

Flossie and Freddie did not know what to do. That their lovely party should be spoiled by the missing ice cream seemed too bad to be true.

Either/Or, passage 512

"Then you should not have eaten so many," said Mr. Tetlow. "I can't see how ripe apples which are the only kind there are this time of year--could make you ill unless you ate too many," and he looked at Danny and Harry sharply. But they did not answer.

Either/Or, passage 176

"This will never do!" exclaimed Mr. Bobbsey. "Whoever owns him may think we are trying to take him away. I'll drive him back. Go home! Go back, sir!" exclaimed Papa Bobbsey in stern tones.

Either/Or, passage 797

"Sure we will," answered Frank good-naturedly. "Take the other sled, Irving," he said to his chum, "and we'll give 'em an even start. Then we'll see which beats, and may the best sled win!"

Either/Or, passage 602

"No, indeedy, Snap couldn't take off a big freezer like dat," declared Dinah. "It wasn't Snap."

Either/Or, passage 470

Mr. Tetlow called all the children together, before letting them go off to play, and told them at what time the start for home would be made, so that they would not be late in coming back to the meeting place.

Either/Or, passage 318

"Flossie Bobbsey! Oh, you'll get it when mamma sees you! She cleaned you all up, and now look at yourself!"

Either/Or, passage 268

"There!" he exclaimed as he sent the letter to be mailed, "now we'll just have to wait for an answer."

Either/Or, passage 31

"But I want a drink," insisted Flossie, a bit fretfully, for she was tired from the long journey.

Either/Or, passage 901

Mrs. Bobbsey had no objections, and soon, with Flossie and Freddie at her side, Nan set off for her father's office in the lumber yard. The smaller twins were delighted.

Either/Or, passage 319

"And you're just as bad!" cried Nan. "You'd both better go in the house right away, and stop playing with the hose."

Either/Or, passage 918

"'When our circus was wrecked we lost a valuable trick dog. He could play soldier, say his prayers, turn somersaults, and do a number of tricks. The ringmaster feels very badly about losing him, and has tried to locate him, but without success. If you should hear of anyone near you having such a dog we would be much obliged if you would send him to us, as he belongs to the circus.'"

Either/Or, passage 568

For a moment the boys and girls did not know what to think of this invitation. But just then Snap, the circus dog, came in the room, and, with a bark of welcome, he turned a somersault, and then marched around on his hind legs, carrying a broomstick like a gun--pretending he was a soldier. Bert had given it to him.

Either/Or, passage 184

"He certainly is," answered Bert, who was in the rear. "I guess he wants us to take him home with us."

Either/Or, passage 840

Dinah hurried across to her window, and evidently saw the reflection of the blaze, for she exclaimed:

Either/Or, passage 519

"That Danny Rugg is a bad boy," said Nan, severely. But she was soon to see how much meaner Danny could be.

Either/Or, passage 416

It worked out just as the children had planned. Snap raced away from Charley, when he heard Bert calling. He ran right between Flossie and Freddie, who raised the hoop just in time.

Either/Or, passage 234

"Heah! heah!" shouted the colored man. "You let dem chillens alone, dog! Go 'way, I tells yo'!"

Either/Or, passage 923

"I'm not, Mary. The fat lady wrote just that. I believe the dog we have does belong to the circus."

Either/Or, passage 222

Sam opened the box stall for them, and out bounced the big white dog, barking in delight, and almost knocking down the twins, so glad was he to see them.

Either/Or, passage 729

As for Freddie and Flossie, they had advanced but little except in reading, and this opened a new world to them.

"Snoop's gone!" he wailed. "He broke open the box and he's gone! Oh, where is Snoop?"

Either/Or, passage 340

"We'll be in the room where there are three seated desks." said Nan with a smile. "Maybe we three can be together."

Either/Or, passage 594

"Don't eat too much," advised Freddie to some of the friends who sat near him. "We've got a lot of ice cream coming. Save room for that."

Either/Or, passage 910

And with this the children had to be content. Getting back home, Flossie and Freddie took out their sleds and went for a coast on a small hill, not far from their home. This was where the smaller children had their fun, leaving the larger hill for the bigger girls and boys.

Either/Or, passage 915

"The same," said Mr. Bobbsey with a smile. "And she has more than your cup. Listen," and he read the letter.

Either/Or, passage 640

"No, let 'em go," advised Bert. "Here's our ice cream. Let's see if there's any left. If there is we'll take it back to the party. We might get into trouble if we went after those fellows."

Either/Or, passage 900

"We'll go down to papa's office," she said to Flossie and Freddie, "and ask him if we can go to the railroad. I know one of the ticket agents and he can tell us of whom to ask about our cat."

Bert, who had been aroused with the others of the household, was dressing in his room. He felt that his father would let him go to the fire. At any rate he intended to be all ready when he made his request, so as not to cause delay.

Either/Or, passage 299

"I tell you it was an accident," insisted Bert. "But if you want to think Freddie did it on purpose I can't stop you."

Either/Or, passage 461

"Yes. He said he'd be good to drive away the cows if they bothered us," answered Bert, with a smile.
