midnight
The second volume , called `` The Bobbsey Twins in the Country , '' told of the good times the four had when they went to the farm of Uncle Daniel Bobbsey and his wife , Aunt Sarah , who lived at Meadow Brook . Such fun as there was ! There was a country picnic , sport in the woods , and a great Fourth of July celebration . A circus gave a chance to have other good times , and though once there was a midnight scare , it all turned out happily . But though the twins had much happiness in the country they were destined to have still more fun when they went to the ocean shore , and in the third book , called `` The Bobbsey Twins at the Seashore , '' I related all that happened to them there . They went on a visit to their uncle , William Minturn , who lived at Ocean Cliff , and their cousin Dorothy showed them many strange scenes and sights . They had most delightful times , and toward the close of their visit there was a great storm at sea , and a shipwreck .
