“We could,” Miss Gordon agreed. “I wonder though, if the girls wouldn’t prefer to do something really worthwhile. Miss Mohr has a suggestion.”
The librarian’s proposal was that the Brownie Scout troop use some of its money to send a CARE package of children’s books to a foreign country.
“Any country?” asked Vevi.
“Yes, the girls may make their choice.”
“Italy,” cried Jane before any of the other Brownies could speak. She named that particular country just to tease Vevi.
“No, Holland!” insisted Vevi. “That’s where I want the package to go!”
Usually, the other Brownies had ideas that were very different from hers. This time, however, everyone except Jane agreed with her. Because of Hanny, all the troop members wanted the book package to be sent to Holland.
“I’ll vote for Holland too,” declared Jane, changing her vote.
“That matter is settled then,” Miss Mohr said, well pleased by the decision. “I’ll take care of the matter.”
The Brownies had worked hard at their stand and now were tired and ready to go home. Everyone said the flower show had been a great success. Hundreds of persons had visited the estate, admiring the beautiful plantings.
