“Tell us,” pleaded the other Brownies.
Hanny grinned and would not answer. “It’s a secret,” she chuckled. “Nurserymen sometimes have magic ways. Just you wait!”

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
VEVI awoke late the next morning, feeling tired in every bone and muscle. Pulling herself slowly up in bed, she peered out the window. It was raining hard.
“Oh, dear,” she thought. “I did so hope for a nice day.”
Vevi dressed and went downstairs for a belated breakfast.
“Mother,” she said, seating herself at the table by the kitchen window. “Is it really true that Mrs. Gabriel was caught digging up the Brownie Scout flower bed last night? Or did I dream it?”
Mrs. McGuire handed her the morning paper.
“It was true, Vevi. See, the story of what happened is on the front page. The Brownies are mentioned too.”
