Bert was wondering if one of the cows might not chase\u003cbr\u003ethe boy.  Bert didn't really want to see the boy hurt by a cow, of\u003cbr\u003ecourse, but he thought that if the cow was going to take after the boy,\u003cbr\u003eanyhow, he might just as well see it.  But the cows were very\u003cbr\u003ewell-behaved, and went along slowly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, the seashore was nice,\" murmured Nan, as she leaned her head back\u003cbr\u003eon the cushioned seat, \"but I'm glad to be going home again.  I want to\u003cbr\u003esee some of the girls, and--\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, and I'll be looking for some of the boys, too,\" put in Bert.\u003cbr\u003e\"But school will soon begin, and that's no fun!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr. and Mrs. Bobbsey smiled at each other, and Mr. Bobbsey, taking out\u003cbr\u003ea timetable, looked to see how much longer they would be on the train.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's about an hour yet,\" he said to Nan, and she sighed.  Really she\u003cbr\u003ewas more tired than she cared to let her mother know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust ahead of the two Bobbsey children were another set of them.  I say\u003cbr\u003e\"set\" for the Bobbsey children came \"in sets.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere were two pairs of twins, Bert and Nan, nearly nine years of age,\u003cbr\u003eand Flossie and Freddie, almost five.  And, whereas the two older\u003cbr\u003echildren were rather tall and slim, with dark brown hair and eyes, the\u003cbr\u003elittler twins were short and fat, and had light hair and blue eyes.\u003cbr\u003eThe two pairs of twins were quite a contrast, and many persons stopped\u003cbr\u003eto look at them as they passed along the street together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No, sir,\" went on Bert musingly, \"school's no fun, and it starts about\u003cbr\u003ea week after we get home.  No chance to have a good time!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We've had fun all summer,\" replied his sister.  \"I rather like school.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mamma, are we going to school this year?\" asked Flossie, as she looked\u003cbr\u003eback with a quick turning of her head that set her yellow curls to\u003cbr\u003edancing.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079811514608,"sku":"2940013945241","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013945241_p0.jpg?v=1763601871","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013945241","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
