Speaker 1 (00:00):
Read by John Brandon. The Bopsey Twins at Cedar Camp
by Laura Lee Hope, Old Jim, don't you think Burton
Nan will be along in a little while, asked Missus
Bobbsey of her husband, as she crossed the big front
room in the log cabin to meet him. Be in soon,
(00:21):
he exclaimed, Why they've been gone too long? Now? Missus Bobsey,
not letting Flossie and Freddie see her, made a motion
with her hands toward her husband. Then he understood that
his wife did not want him to frighten the smaller
twins by letting it become known how worried he was
about Burton Nan. Oh yes, said mister Bobbsey as he
(00:46):
understood his wife's idea. Oh yes, Burton Nan will be
along soon. Now I'll be glad, exclaimed Freddy. So will,
I added Flossie from her place on one of the
bunks in a bedroom opening out of the living room.
I want some chestnuts. Hello, little fat fairy, what's the
(01:08):
matter with you? Asked her father, noticing for the first
time that Flossie was in bed sick. He asked, I
just fell in the water, FLOSSI explained, I dumped her in,
but it didn't mean to. Freddy said, oh, up to
some of your fireman tricks? Were you? Laughed mister Bobbsey,
(01:30):
for he saw by a glance at his wife that
the small twins were now in no danger. No, Daddy,
I wasn't playing fireman, Freddie answered, though that was one
of his favorite pastimes. We were going to make a
saw mill. Oh, exclaimed mister Bobbsey. Well, whatever you do,
(01:50):
keep away from the big buzzsaw, he warnd. And now
he went on in a low voice to his wife.
So Freddie and Flossi would not hear. We must do
something about Burton Nan. Yes, she agreed, I'm worried about them,
but I didn't want Flossie and Freddy to know. Oh,
to think of their being out in this storm, It
(02:13):
is pretty bad. Her husband admitted. I was caught in
it and hurried back. I didn't think the children would
go far away, nor, I said missus Bobbsey. I suppose
they didn't find chestnuts where they expected to. And wandered on,
are there any wild animals in the woods? Well, no,
(02:34):
none to speak of. Her husband said slowly. You don't
need to worry about that, but I'll get Jim Denton
and some of the men, and we'll start right out
after Burton Nan. I wish I could come with you,
exclaimed his wife, as anxious and worried as was mister Bobbsey.
You'll have to stay here with Flossie and Freddy, he said,
(02:56):
I'll find Burton Nan and bring them back. I hope, so,
murmured his wife. But as she glanced out of the
window and saw how dark it was getting, and how
fast the snow still came down and hurt, how the
wind howled, it is no wonder. The mother of the
older Bobsey twins was worried. So was mister Bobbsey. I'll
(03:18):
go right away and get Jim and some of the men,
and we'll start out on the search, said mister Bobsey,
having warmed himself at the stove. We must not wait, no,
agreed Missus Bobsy. I'll stay and amuse Flossy and Freddy.
The smaller Bobbsey Twins, of course, did not worry because
(03:39):
Burton Nan had not yet come home. Flossie and Freddie
were having too much fun playing a little game on
the foot of Flossi's bed. Missus Baxter the housekeeper had
started the game for the children by bringing in some
funny wooden blocks her husband had cut out on one
of the long winter evenings that were so sometimes so
(04:00):
dreary in Cedar Camp. The blocks could be fitted together
to make a house, a bridge, a boat, and many
other play objects, and Flossie and Freddie enjoyed playing with them,
for which their mother was glad. She really was so
worried that she could not very well talk to them
or tell them stories. Telling his wife to keep up
(04:24):
her courage and not to worry too much, mister Bopsei
went out into the storm again. Where is Daddy going,
asked Flossi, hearing the door shut. He's going to bring
back burton nan and the chestnuts, said Missus Bobsey quickly.
She knew the smaller twins would think more of the
chestnuts than anything else just at present. Oh, I like chestnuts,
(04:48):
cried Freddie. I'm going to boast em and royal em,
he exclaimed. Listen to him, Mother laughed Flossie. He said
boast in royal and he he meant roast and boil him,
didn't he? I think he did, said Missus BOBSI, trying
not to let the small twins see how worried she was. Oh,
(05:10):
Freddie Bobbsey, look what you did, suddenly cried FLOSSI, you
knocked over my steamboat. For Freddie had toppled over the
pile of blocks that Flossi had erected on the foot
of her bed. Never Mind, he didn't mean to, said
missus BOBBSI. You can make another boat, Flossie, and I'll help,
(05:32):
offered Freddy. Thus the two smaller Bobsey twins amuse themselves
with little thought of Burton Nan, except perhaps to wonder
when they would come home with the chestnuts. Meanwhile, mister
BOBBSI hurried through the fast gathering darkness and the storm
to the cabin of Jim Denton. Like the other men
(05:52):
in the Christmas tree in lumber Camp, the foreman had
stopped work when the storm came, with such blinding snow
and a wind that turned bi cold toward night. What's that?
Cried Jim Denton when mister Bopsy called at his cabin.
Burton Nan not back from chestnutting yet? Why I suppose
they were back hours ago, so did I, and I
(06:15):
wish they were, said mister Bopsey. Oh shocks Now, don't worry,
said the jolly foreman. We'll find them all right. We'll
start right out. He put on his big boots and
warm coat and went with mister Bopsey to the cabins
of some of the lumbermen. Soon a searching party was organized,
and away they started through the storm along the path
(06:38):
that earlier in the day Bert and Nan had taken
to go to the Chestnut grove. They took their lunch
with them, said mister Bobsey, so they wouldn't be hungry
until now. But they may be lost, or have fallen
into some hole and be half snowed over. Or they
may have found some loggers or hunter's cabin have gone in,
(07:01):
said Jim Denton. There are plenty of cabins scattered through
the woods. I hope they have found shelter, said mister
BOBBSI anxiously. On through the storm went the father of
the Bobsey twins and his lumbermen searchers. They stopped now
and then and shouted, but no answers came back. They
had been out about an hour and had gone more
(07:23):
than a mile along the path that it was supposed
Bert and Nan had taken. When one of the men called,
wait a minute, I think I heard someone call. They
all stopped and listened. Above the blowing of the wind
and the swishing of the fast falling snowflakes, a faint
and far off voice could be heard. Help help it called.
(07:49):
There they are, shouted one of the lumbermen. That doesn't
sound like either Bert or Nan, said mister Bobbsey. But
it may be some one who started to bring them
back to camp, and he too became lost. They all
listened again, and once more came the call, but still
faint and far away. Help help, it's over here, cried
(08:15):
Jim Denton, over to the right. Through the storm and darkness.
The rescue party hurried, sending out calls to tell that
they were on the way now, And then they heard
the cry in answer, and it sounded nearer now. At last,
mister Bopsey saw a dark figure huddled in a heap
(08:36):
near a pile of snow which had drifted around a
large rock. Here's someone, cried mister Bopsy. A moment later,
he and the lumberman were standing over the figure of
a man partly buried in the snow. Why it's Jim Old,
Jim Bimby exclaimed Jim Denton. I know him. He lives
(09:00):
miles from here. He must have been lost in the
storm too, Jim Jim, he cried, what are you doing here?
I I started to town for victuals, said old Jim
Bimby in faint tones. The storm was too much for me.
I was about giving up. We heard you call, said
(09:21):
Tom Case. Did you see anything of two small children?
Eagerly asked mister Bopsey, twins, a boy and a girl.
Did you see them? Anxiously he bent over to catch
the old logger's answer. End of Chapter thirteen.
