The Bobbsey twins, and their cousin-guests, liked Lake Romano very
much indeed. It was much bigger than the lake at home, and there were
some very large boats on it.
Bert and Harry caught no fish before dinner, but in the afternoon they
had better luck, and got enough for supper. The evening meal had been
served by Dinah, Snap and Snoop had been fed, and the family and their
guests were up on deck, watching the sunset, when Dinah came waddling
up the stairs, with a queer look on her face.
"Why, Dinah! What is the matter?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey, seeing that
something was wrong. "Have you lost some more sandwiches?"
"No'm, it ain't sandwiches dish yeah time," Dinah answered. "But I
done heard a funny noise jest now down near mah kitchen."
"A funny noise?" repeated Mr. Bobbsey. "What was it like?"
"Jes like some one cryin'," Dinah answered. "I thought mebby one ob de
chilluns done got locked in de pantry, but I opened de do', an' dey
wasn't anybody dere. 'Sides, all de chilluns is up heah. But I shuah
did heah a funny noise ob somebody cryin'!"
Mrs. Bobbsey looked at her husband and said:
"You'd better go see what it is, Richard."
