They'd talked about getting a better icebox for years, but that was expensive and bits were always a little bit tight. Maybe if they'd been serious about it they could have scrimped and saved a little more and Lyra could busk just a bit longer in the park, and they could skip a treat or two at Sugarcube Corner—it wasn't much, but those bits added up. Then Lyra remembered that she wouldn't have to busk in the park anymore, and she could buy a new icebox for Bonnie and she turned to her house without even thinking about it. Minuette continued down the street unaware that Lyra had stopped.
