“Through the window.”
“But we didn’t have the window open,” Veve recalled. “It’s chilly in here and we kept it closed all the time.”
“That’s so, we did,” recalled Jane, looking around. “Oh, see what’s happened!”
She pointed to the wood which had been scattered.
“The squirrel didn’t do that!” cried Veve.
“It must have been those mean boys again! They’re somewhere in the park.”
“I wish Mr. Karwhite could catch them at their tricks.”
“So do I,” Jane muttered, starting to pick up the wood.
The other Brownies came trooping up the stairs and were informed what had occurred. By this time the squirrel had scampered away. Running along the balcony rail, he leaped into a tree branch. From there he chattered excitedly.
“Mr. Squirrel is annoyed too!” Rosemary declared. “Oh, I wish we could find those boys.”
