Janet heard the words “Sunset Beach,” and at once exclaimed:
“Why, that’s where we are going!”
“Where, my dear?” asked Mrs. Keller.
“To Sunset Beach!” went on Janet. “That’s where we are going for our vacation! Aren’t we, Mother?”
“Yes, dear,” answered Mrs. Martin. “I wonder if it is the same Sunset Beach where we have taken a cottage,” the Curlytops’ mother said to Mrs. Keller.
“The Sunset Beach where my husband and I are going is near Oceanside City, the big summer resort,” Mrs. Keller explained.
“Then it’s the same one!” exclaimed Ted, who had been listening earnestly while waiting for more circus acts to start.
“How delightful!” murmured Mrs. Martin. “I hope we shall see more of one another down there. You must call on me, and I’ll come to see you before we go—we shan’t start for another week.”
“Nor we,” added Mrs. Keller. “It is quite strange, isn’t it,” and she smiled, “how my husband should rescue your little boy, and that we should meet in the circus and discover that we are going to the same summer resort?”
“Yes, it is odd,” agreed Mrs. Martin.
