"Want to build it up again," he added.
"I am afraid you'll get into trouble again, Freddie."
"No, I won't, mamma. Do let us build it up again," pleaded the little
fellow.
"I kin watch dem from de doah," suggested Dinah.
"Let me help them, mamma," put in Nan. "Bert is reading a book, so he
won't want me for a while."
"Very well, Nan, you may stay with them. But all of you be careful,"
said Mrs. Bobbsey.
After that the building of the snow house was started all over again.
The pile of snow was packed down as hard as possible, and Nan made
Flossie and Freddie do the outside work while she crept inside, and cut
around the ceiling and the bay window just as the others wanted. It was
great sport, and when the snow house was finished it was large enough
and strong enough for all of them to enter with safety.
"To-night I'll poah some water ober dat house," said Sam. "Dat will make
de snow as hard as ice." This was done, and the house remained in the
garden until spring came. Later on Bert built an addition to it, which
he called the library, and in this he put a bench and a shelf on which
he placed some old magazines and story papers.
