Sam, Dinah's husband, was to stay home to look after the Bobbsey city
house, and he waved a good-bye as the automobile started off.
"Where's Snap?" asked Flossie, as they were rolling down the street.
"He's coming," reported Nan, for the big dog was running alongside the
car. There would have been room for him to ride in it, but he
preferred racing along the street, and he would be at the depot
waiting for the family when they arrived.
"The train will be here in about five minutes," said Mr. Bobbsey,
after they had reached the depot, and he had purchased the tickets.
Then, while Flossie and Freddie took turns looking in at black Snoop
through the slats of the box, Nan and Bert helped gather the valises
into one pile. Mr. Bobbsey went to see about getting the trunks
checked, and also about sending Snap in the baggage car, for the dog
would have to ride that way to Meadow Brook.
At last, with a toot of the whistle, and a ringing of the bell, the
engine, drawing the train, puffed into the station.
"All aboard!" called the conductor.
Many persons were getting on, while others were getting off.
