“Why is that, Miss Gordon?” Connie inquired.
“Grandmother Gordon has accommodations for only six Brownies.”
“Then Veve can’t go?”
“I don’t see how she can,” Miss Gordon replied regretfully.
No one said any more about the matter until the Brownies were putting on their wraps in the hallway.
Then Jane, tucking yellow braids under the hood of her snowsuit, remarked:
“It serves Veve right! She should have joined the Brownies long ago.”
“That’s true,” declared Belinda, and the others agreed.
All, that is, except Connie, who knew Veve would be very lonesome if her friends went away during the Christmas holidays.
The next few days at Rosedale passed quickly. Connie and the other Brownies dashed to and from school with open coats flapping in the December breeze, for the weather had turned quite warm.
