But, to tell you the
truth, the children were more interested in looking out of the window
than in eating, though they did not miss much that was on the table.
Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey were glad they had brought the twins along, for
they felt the trip would do them good and let the children see things
they never would have seen but for the travel.
After they had gone back into the sleeping car, where the berths had
all been folded up against the roof by this time, Mr. Bobbsey said
they had better begin getting their baggage ready.
"The train does not stop long at Lumberville, and we must hurry out,"
he said. "Lumberville isn't a big, city station, like the one in
Chicago."
"Are there any moving pictures there?" Freddie wanted to know.
"No, not a one," his mother answered. "But there will be plenty of
other things for you to see."
Soon after the satchels, baskets, and bundles belonging to the Bobbsey
twins had been gathered together by the car porter and put at the end,
near the door, the train began to run more slowly.
