Excerpt: ""We are ready to start, but where are the twins?" exclaimed Jinks impatiently. Jinks was Meredith Starr’s chum who lived next door to the Starrs. "Why, they were here but a moment ago!" said Mete. "Perhaps they ran on to Mossy Glen without us, " came from Lavinia Starr, two years older than the twins, who were eight. A shrill whistle from the woods then told the three waiting children that Don and Dot Starr were half-way to the meeting place. The Blue Birds and Bobolinks were going to meet at the barn, known now as the Publishing Offices, to start thence for the ten-forty train to New York. "Hurry up, we’ve wasted three minutes waiting for those awful twins!" sighed Vene-the nickname for Lavinia.
