“You’ll need to shake your furs out of moth balls when you get to Deerford,” he joked. “Snow’s six feet deep there. I nearly had my ears nipped off when we went through on the run yesterday.”
The Brownies settled down to enjoy the long ride ahead. Eileen and Jane played a card game.
Rosemary, who sat with Miss Gordon, helped her turn the seat so that the four faced each other. Sunny, who didn’t want to sit alone, squeezed in beside them.
After a while, when the girls were tired of playing cards and talking, Sunny began to hum the Brownie “Smile” song.
Soon, to the enjoyment of the passengers, all the girls except Veve were singing it. Veve tried to join in, but not being a Brownie, she didn’t know the words.
“I’ve something in my pocket;
It belongs across my face,
And I keep it very close at hand,
In a most convenient place.
