“I guess you do,” Miss Gordon said. From her beach kit, she removed a curious object and gave it to Jane.
“Oh, it’s a starfish!” Jane cried in delight.
“I found it on the beach this morning,” Miss Gordon said. “If we have a little exhibition of shells and sea animals, you can include it.”
“Oh, I shall!” Jane’s eyes shone. “But after the exhibition, is it mine to keep?”
The Brownie leader assured her that it was.
“Where will we have our exhibition?” Vevi inquired as the girls trudged back to the cottage beach.
“We’ll find a place,” Miss Gordon promised.
Vevi had been thinking about the little ship cottage. She remarked that it would be nice to have the exhibition there.
“I don’t believe you and Connie ever saw such a place!” Jane challenged again.
“We did too!” Vevi retorted. “What’s more, we’ll prove it, if Miss Gordon will let us!”
