When Mrs. Lee had read the card she asked the boys if there was anything they needed that had not been promised.
"We wondered," replied Herbie, "if Mary would give us a doll for that little girl?"
Mrs. Lee smiled and said:
"I think I can promise you that she will. If you will call later it will give me a chance to get her."
"We'll be glad to," promised the boys, "and thank you."
At five o'clock a sleigh piled high with bundles and boys was seen turning into the Brown's driveway.
"What'll we do now?" asked Toad of the others.
"Let's drive into the barn and leave the things in the sleigh," suggested Chuck; "then we can meet here early tonight and take the things to the O'Reillys."
"All right," assented the others. "What time shall we meet?"
