The afternoon passed slowly enough. Mr. Bobbsey and Bert went to the baggage car once more, to see about Snap, but they found he was all right, having made friends with one of the men who looked after the travelers' trunks. 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. "Oh, we haven't time for that now," said Mrs. Bobbsey. "Get ready to leave the train, Flossie." Bundles and valises were gotten together, and, a little later, with a screeching of the brakes on the wheels, the train pulled slowly into the Meadow Brook station. "I see Uncle Daniel!" cried Nan, looking from a window. "Yes, and there's Harry!" cried Bert, as he spied his country cousin. "Oh, how glad I am!" "Well, well! How are you all!" laughed Uncle Daniel as he hugged and kissed the two sets of twins. "My, but I'm glad to see you all!" he cried. "Welcome to Meadow Brook!" "And we're glad to be here!" said Mrs. Bobbsey. "How is Aunt Sarah?" "Just as fine as can be!" said her husband. "Now I have the same big wagon I had when you were here before. There's room for everybody in it, and all your baggage, too. Where's Dinah? You didn't leave her home, I hope!" "No, indeedy! I'se heah!" exclaimed the fat, colored cook, who was carrying many bundles. "Oh, we must get Snap out of the baggage car, before the train carries him away," said Mr. Bobbsey, and he hurried to do that, while his brother, Uncle Daniel, helped the boys and girls and Mrs. Bobbsey into the big wagon from the Bobbsey farm. The wagon had seats running along the side and was very comfortable to ride in. Mr. Bobbsey soon came back with Snap, who was bouncing about, barking and wagging his tail, so glad was he to be among his friends again.
