Now the girls were not very hungry, having finished their lunches only a short while before. Being polite, however, they did not mention this.
Vevi was the first to break open her little cake.
“Why, there’s a piece of paper in mine!” she exclaimed.
“Read it,” urged Hanny. “I already know the good news.”
Vevi spread out the strip of paper. Two names had been printed on it. She read them aloud.
“Peter Van Der Lann and Miss Mohr!” she exclaimed, not understanding why the names had been baked into the cake.
“Peter and I are to be married in a few days,” the librarian announced. “We decided to have the wedding so soon because Peter must go to New York with his tulip bulbs. We’ll call it our honeymoon.”
Now the Brownies were delighted to hear that Miss Mohr was to wed. They were especially glad that Hanny would have someone as nice as the librarian to look after her.
“If you are to be married right away, I don’t suppose there will be a big wedding,” Vevi remarked.
“Oh, we couldn’t omit that,” smiled the librarian. “We plan a wonderful church wedding. Hanny is to be the ring bearer. I want all the Brownies to be there.”
