"Yes," said Uncle Dan, as the Bobbsey twins called Laddie's uncle, "if
Flossie and Freddie hadn't fallen off the ice-boat I might still be
looking for you, John."

And so, as you have read, everything came out all right. Uncle Jack, in a
few weeks, was able to leave the hospital, quite well again, though he was
very weak, and he was old. He grew stronger in time, but of course no
younger, though he lived for a number of happy years with his brother.

Laddie stayed in Lakeport over two weeks, and he had many good times with
the Bobbsey twins. His mother, as soon as the weather became warm, came on
from California and said she had never seen Laddie play with two children
he liked more than he did Flossie and Freddie. Bert and Tommy Todd sailed
the ice-boat, and it did not upset again, though once it came very near
it. Flossie and Freddie were given the cart and goat they so much wanted,
but I shall have no room here to tell about the fun they had with them.

"Well, it certainly was a dandy Winter," remarked Bert one day, when the
air felt like Spring.

The Whipples, taking Uncle Jack with them, had gone back to New York, and
the Bobbseys were alone.

"It will soon be Summer," said Nan. "I wonder what we shall do then. Where
are we going to spend our vacation, Mother?"

"Oh, I think Daddy has some nice place picked out."

"Let's try to guess!" said Nan to Bert.

But they did not easily do that, and as I do not want to keep you
guessing, I will say that the children did have a fine time that Summer.

Where they went, and what they did while there, you may find out by
reading the next book of this series, to be called, "The Bobbsey Twins on
Blueberry Island." There they went camping, and----But I will let you read
it for yourselves.

"Freddie! oh, Freddie!" called Flossie, coming into the house one day
about a month after they had come back from New York. "Where are you,
Freddie?"

"I'm out in the kitchen gettin' some bread an' jam," he answered. "What
d'you want?"

"Lucy Turner is with me," went on Flossie. "She says we haven't got any
bugs that go around and around and around, and I want to show her. We have
got 'em, haven't we, Freddie?"

"Course we have. I've got one now going around and around and around my
plate that had bread and jam on it--but there isn't any on it now, 'cause
I ate it all up!"

"Oh, come on and we'll get some, too!" cried Flossie, and she and her
little girl playmate were soon having fun with Freddie. And there we will
take leave of them.
