Bobbsey's answer. "I have a letter from the circus man,
and he will sell Snap to me. I have already sent the money. And there
is another letter from the fat lady, telling about some of the new
tricks she taught Snoop, so you can make him do them."
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" cried the Bobbsey twins in firelight, as they looked at
their two pets.
"What lots of things have happened since we came back from the
seashore," said Nan, little later. "I wonder if the rest of the Winter
will be as lively as this first part has been?"
"Maybe," said Bert with a smile.
And whether it was or not you may learn by reading the next volume of
this series, to be called: "The Bobbsey Twins at Snow Lodge," in which
we will once more hear of the doings of Flossie, Freddie Nan and Bert.
After reading the fat lady's second letter the twins got Snoop to do
some of the tricks the cat had learned. He was not as smart at them as
Snap was at his, but then cats never do learn to do tricks as well as do
dogs.
Still everyone agreed that the fat lady had done her training well. As
for Snap, he and Snoop became firmer friends every day, and often the
cat went to sleep on Snap's back, or between his forepaws as he lay
stretched out in front of the fire.
And the silver cup, which, with Snoop, had gone on such a long journey,
was put back in its place on the mantle, to be admired by all.
Now my little story has come to an end, but I hope you children who have
read it will care to hear more of the Bobbsey twins and the things they
did.
