“Let’s all wish hard for the little stove,” laughed Veve.
Miss Gordon asked the carpenter if he really thought it would be safe to have a stove in the little house.
“As safe as in any home on the ground,” he reassured her.
“The stove would be used only when I am here,” the Brownie Scout leader said, thinking aloud. “And it would make the room much cozier.”
“Then the stove is the same as ours right now!” chuckled Sunny. “Let’s all wish for it, girls.”
The Brownies noticed that Mr. Vincent was estimating distances with his eye. They couldn’t be sure, of course, but they thought he might be thinking of installing the stove for them.
Miss Gordon seemed to think so too, for she gratefully told the carpenter that it was nice of him to take an interest in the tree house and the activities of the troop.
“I enjoy doing it,” he replied. “Someday I may ask a favor in return.”
“You must come for luncheon—really come I mean,” urged Connie.
“Maybe we can get the park brownies to cook it for us,” laughed Veve in high humor. “They did a good job today!”
