"This is as nice as Blueberry Island!" cried Nan one day, when they were all playing on the sawdust heap. "Yes, and we're having as much fun as we did in Washington, where we found Miss Pompret's china," added Bert. "I wonder if we'll discover any mystery on this trip." "I don't believe so," returned Nan.
I was going to get her something anyhow." "But they cost a lot of money," objected Nan. "Well, Dinah is awful good to us," said Bert. "And she'd like these dishes if they aren't Miss Pompret's." "But I do hope they are," sighed Nan. "Think of a whole hundred dollars!" "It would scare me to get all that money," said Nell. "Oh, I do hope they are the right sugar bowl and pitcher!"
Bobbsey shook his head, "this sugar bowl has a lion marked on the bottom, it is true, but it isn't the same kind that is on Miss Pompret's fine china. This tableware is made in Trenton, New Jersey, and it is new it isn't as old as that Miss Pompret showed you. Now please pick up the sugar, and don't act so quickly again."

And I wonder if I could ever find that milk pitcher and sugar bowl and get that hundred dollars. I don't guess I could, but I'd like to awful much. No, I mustn't say 'awful, but I'd like to a terrible lot.
"And oh, Mother, we've had the most wonderful time!" burst out Nan. "We've found Miss Pompret's missing china dishes the two she has wanted so long the ones the tramp took and she's going to give a reward of a hundred dollars for, you know and and " "Yes, and I know you're excited!" exclaimed Mrs. Bobbsey. "Now cool down and tell me all about it."
"And here are the dishes," added Bert, as he set the precious bundle down on the table. "Look at 'em, Mother, and see if they are the ones like Miss Pompret's set. You saw her dishes, didn't you?" "Yes, but I am not sure I would know them again." "I owe Billy fifteen cents," went on Bert, as he unwrapped the dishes. "We didn't have money enough.
