"
"Where?" asked Nan.
"Around the corner," her brother answered as they came out of the
souvenir shop. "There's a cheaper place there. I looked in the windows
yesterday and saw the prices marked. We haven't got much money left, and
we've got to go to a cheap place for the rest of our things."
"All right," agreed Nan, and Bert led the way. The other store, just as
he said, was only around the corner, and, as he had told his sister, the
windows were filled with many things, some of them marked at prices
which were very low.
Suddenly, as Nan was peering in through the glass, she gave a startled
cry, and, plucking Bert by the sleeve, exclaimed:
"Oh, look!"
CHAPTER XX
A GREAT BARGAIN
Bert Bobbsey turned to look at his sister Nan. She was staring at
something in the jumble of articles in the second-hand shop window, and
what she saw seemed to excite Nan.
"What is it? What's the matter?" asked Bert, as Nan, once more,
exclaimed:
"Look! Oh, look!"
"Is it a fire?" eagerly asked Freddie, as he wiggled about to get a
better view of the window, since Bert and Nan stood so near it he could
not see very well.
