The Bobbsey Twins at Meadow Brook

Freddie was small - he and Flossie were the smaller pair of Bobbsey twins - but he was a sturdy little chap, and living out of doors, and playing games with his older brother Bert had taught Freddie how to do many things. He put Flossie's skate on her shoe, tightened the strap, and then made it still tighter by putting some pieces of wood under the leather loop.
