The Dress Mess

That is my hat!” Orson cried.

Troy didn’t seem to notice Nancy or Orson. He was too busy working.

Nancy pulled out her notebook. She compared the hat in the window to her sketch. The two hats looked exactly the same. But were they the same?

“We have to get inside that window,” Nancy said, “and see if that hat has a Sid’s Novelty Store tag on it.”

Nancy and Orson walked into the department store. The salespeople were busy helping customers.

“Which way to the window?” Nancy wondered out loud.

Suddenly she saw Troy. He was stepping out from behind a red curtain.

Nancy and Orson waited until Troy walked away. Then they quickly slipped behind the curtain.

“I can’t believe it!” Orson whispered. “I’m inside a real store window.”

Orson flattened his nose against the glass. People walking by looked up at him curiously.

“Will you stop?” Nancy cried. “Let’s check out the hat and get out of here!”

“Wait!” Orson said. He reached into his pocket and plucked out a rubber dog nose. “Not until I put on my Secret Spy Schnozola!”

“What does that do?” Nancy asked.

“It’s supposed to give me a keen sense of smell,” Orson explained. “Just like a scent hound!”

“Whatever!” Nancy sighed.

Orson slipped on the nose and Nancy stood on her toes. She picked up the brim of the hat and read the label.

“Madame Colette’s,” Nancy read out loud. “That’s not where you bought your—”

“I’ll be in my window for a few minutes, Sally!” a voice interrupted.

Nancy gasped. It was Troy’s voice. And he was coming back to the window!

“We have to hide!” Nancy whispered.

“Follow me!” Orson said. He tugged Nancy’s arm and yanked her underneath the dummy’s long, puffy skirt.

Nancy peeked out from under the skirt. She could see Troy’s shoes right in front of her nose!

“What’s a spring window?” Troy was asking himself, “without spring flowers?”

Nancy watched as red rose petals scattered on the floor.

“Roses make me sneeze!” Orson hissed. “And my Schnozola is making it worse!”

“Then take it off!” Nancy whispered back.

It was too late. “Ahh . . . ahh . . . choo!” Orson sneezed. He sneezed so hard that the long skirt blew out just enough to show Orson and Nancy’s shoes.
