Nan blushed, but, proud and happy, she read her story and the boys and girls all said it was most interesting. Nan told in an entertaining way about many of the incidents that had taken place at Cloverbank, and on the way there and back, just as they have been told to you here.
“Now what books do you want for a prize?” asked Miss Skell, when Nan had finished.
“A set of nice story books for girls, if you please,” was the answer.
And that is what Nan received a little later. She still has those books, and thinks them the best in her little library.
“Well, we certainly had fun at Cloverbank,” said Bert to his brother and sisters that afternoon on their way home from school, Nan hurrying to tell the good news about winning the prize.
“Lots of fun,” she agreed.
“Wasn’t it funny when Freddie and I saw the bear that turned into a calf?” laughed Flossie.
“And wasn’t it fun that day when we played outdoors in the rain?” asked Freddie. “I wonder if we’ll ever have fun like that again?”
“Oh, I guess so,” said Bert.
Whether the Bobbsey twins did or not remains to be seen.
