CHAPTER 4
Through the Field Glass
IN leaving the park area, the Brownies again stopped at the gate house to talk to Mr. Karwhite.
The superintendent listened in amazement to their story that a tree house had been built in the branches of the oak.
“Why, I can’t believe it!” he exclaimed.
“Then the house couldn’t have been constructed by park workmen,” remarked Miss Gordon.
“I should say not!” agreed Mr. Karwhite. “We’d be afraid to put up a tree house lest some child climb up and fall. I’ll have it torn down immediately.”
A wail of protest greeted this announcement.
“Oh, no! You can’t!” cried Veve. “It’s such a cute little house.”
“It was built for the Brownies too,” insisted Sunny earnestly. “It would be a shame to destroy such a darling little place.”
