“Tulips would be nice,” replied Miss Mohr. She was busy checking out a book and spoke absently. “When the right time comes to plant—”
“Most of the bulbs in my bag are Golden Beauties,” Vevi told Jane and Connie. “When they bloom, they will be the best tulips in Rosedale!”
Miss Mohr had finished waiting on another child who had asked for a special book on frogs. Returning to the Brownies she reported that she had a special message for Vevi.
“Mrs. Gabriel is looking for you,” the librarian said. “She came here not an hour ago, asking where you lived. She said it was most important that she find you right away.”
The message astonished Vevi. She could not guess why Mrs. Gabriel would want to see her.
“Where does Mrs. Gabriel live?” she asked the librarian. “I could go to her house if it is important.”
Miss Mohr said she did not have the woman’s address. “It’s odd,” she added, “but no one in Rosedale seems to know where she lives, or for that matter, very much about her.”
“Why does she want to see me, Miss Mohr?”
“She didn’t say, Vevi. However, she seemed very disturbed about something.”
“You’ve been in mischief again, I’ll bet!” teased Jane, pointing an accusing finger at Vevi.
