“A little stove,” explained Sunny. “Now we want permission to use it.”
Miss Gordon assured the park superintendent that the stove had been properly installed and appeared very safe.
“The Brownies never will use it except when I am with them,” she added.
“In that case you may use the stove whenever you like,” the park superintendent consented.
“We’d like to know who installed it for us,” Connie said. “Have you seen Mr. Vincent here lately?”
“Not that I recall. He comes and goes occasionally. As I said before, I don’t pay too much attention.”
“It’s certainly queer how that house of ours was built and no one knew about it,” Jane murmured. “I’d like to find out who is responsible for all our nice surprises.”
“Finding out might detract from some of the fun,” suggested Miss Gordon. “Why not enjoy the tree house and not worry too much about our kind benefactor?”
“The work must be done late in the afternoon or maybe at night,” Jane went on thoughtfully. “You know what! I’d like to hide out and watch sometime!”
“Let’s!” proposed Sunny taking up the idea.
