"Which way did he go?" Uncle Daniel wanted to know.
"Which way? I dunno," Dinah answered.
"Oh, perhaps he went back to the animal tent," suggested Mrs. Bobbsey.
She was not really frightened as yet. Often before Freddie had been
lost, but he had generally been found within a few minutes. But he had
never before been lost at a circus. This time he seemed to have melted
away in the big crowd.
"Let's go back to the animal tent," suggested Uncle Daniel. "Freddie
was so taken with feeding the elephants peanuts that he may have gone
back to do that. We'll look."
"Oh, if only dem ugly lions or tigers habn't got him!" sighed Dinah.
"The wild animals couldn't get him, 'cause they're shut up in cages,
aren't they?" asked Flossie.
"Yes, dear," Nan said to her, not wanting her little sister to be
frightened. "No wild animals could get Freddie."
"We'll soon find him," declared Bert.
"We'll help you look," spoke Tom Mason. "Come on, Harry."
The three boys started to push their way back through the crowd toward
the animal tent.
"Now don't you three get lost," said Uncle Daniel.
