Snoop?" said Freddie, and then he and his sister went on to the water cooler. Near it they saw something else to look at. This was the sight of a very, very fat lady who occupied nearly all of one seat in the end of the car. She was so large that only a very little baby could have found room beside her.
"Look—look at her," whispered Flossie to Freddie, as they paused. The fat woman's back was toward them, and she seemed to be much interested in looking out of the window.
"She is fat," admitted Freddie. "Did you ever see one so big before?"
"Only in a circus," said Flossie.
"She'd make—make two of Dinah," went on her brother.
"She would not," contradicted Flossie quickly. "'Cause Dinah's black, and this lady is white."
"That's so," admitted Freddie, with a smile. "I didn't think of that."
A sway of the train nearly made Flossie fall, and she caught quickly at her brother.
"Look out!" he cried. "You 'most knocked the cup down."
