Nan read a story book which her mother bought from the train boy, and
Flossie and Freddie did what Dinah was doing--took a little nap.
The train was due to arrive at Meadow Brook about five o'clock, and
Mr. Bobbsey's brother, Uncle Daniel, was to meet the family at the
station.
"Ours is the next stop," said the twins' papa, after a while. "Get
your things together now."
"Oh, I had a fine sleep!" cried Freddie, stretching his chubby little
arms.
"So did I," added Flossie. "I wonder if Snoop slept any?"
"I guess that's all he has been doing since we started," Mrs. Bobbsey
answered. "He's all curled up into a black ball."
Flossie and Freddie looked at their pet, and Snoop stretched, and
opened his mouth very wide, sticking out his red tongue.
"My! What a lot of teeth Snoop has!" cried Flossie.
"Did we bring his tooth brush?" asked Freddie.
"Cats don't have tooth brushes!" said Flossie.
"Their tongue is their tooth brush," explained Mrs. Bobbsey. "Did you
ever feel how rough a cat's tongue is?"
"I never did!" said Flossie. "I'm going to feel now," and she knelt
down on the carpeted floor of the car, and tried to get Snoop to put
his red tongue out between the bars of the box.
