They kept looking through windows and many of them even went into Mr.Finch’s garden. This was too much for Mr.Finch. He decided to drive the unwelcome visitors away, so he put a notice in the window. The notice said: “If you want to satisfy your curiosity, come in and look round. Price: two shillings and six pence”. Mr.Finch was sure that the visitors would stop coming but he was wrong.
