"We can take our books with us and study on the train," suggested Nan.
"I fear there wouldn't be much studying done," laughed Mrs. Bobbsey.
"But do you really think we might take the children out of school?"
she asked.
"That is something we will have to find out about," her husband
answered. "Of course it will not be much loss to Flossie and Freddie,
as they are not as far along in their studies as are Nan and Bert. But
I wouldn't like to have them lose much of their lessons."
"Teacher said I was at the head of my class, and I'd pass easy!"
declared Bert.
"And my teacher said I was one of her best students," added Nan. She
and Bert were in the same grade but in different classes.
"Well, since we really have to go out West to look after the lumber
and cattle properties that are to be your mother's," said Mr. Bobbsey,
"and since we must take you children with us, I'll see your teachers,
Bert and Nan, and ask them if it will put you back much to lose the
last two weeks of the term.
