“See what I’ve found now!” she shouted. “An old faded purse! One with gold initials on it!”
CHAPTER 15
A FACE AT THE WINDOW
HEARING Vevi shout that she had found something in the sand, the other Brownies quickly gathered about her.
“Why it is a purse!” exclaimed Connie in astonishment. “It’s been on the beach several days too, because it’s water stained!”
“What are the initials on it?” Sunny asked, trying to make them out.
“A-W-A,” Vevi read the letters. “Or maybe its A-M-A.”
“No, it’s A-W-A,” Jane decided. “Say! This pocketbook must belong to Mrs. Allison!”
“That’s right,” agreed Rosemary. “I think her first name is Alice. She lost a purse. Or at least it was stolen from her car.”
By this time, Mrs. Williams and Miss Gordon had joined the group. They too, were very much interested in the purse and agreed that it might indeed belong to Mrs. Allison.
