“He may have given the troop a piece of his fine Delft ware,” Sunny declared. “I would like that for a gift.”
Thinking of various possibilities, the girls began to walk faster. Soon they came within view of the library.
“How will we know about the surprise?” Jane asked in perplexity. “Are we supposed to go into the building and ask one of the librarians?”
“Well, if we aren’t dopes!” suddenly cried Vevi.
She stopped short and began to laugh.
“What’s wrong with you?” demanded Jane.
“The surprise!” cried Vevi. “One can see it a mile away! It’s a wonderful one too!”
The other Brownies were bewildered by the little girl’s words. But only for a moment.
“Oh, I see it too!” exclaimed Connie.
She and Vevi both began to run toward the library.
