“That stands for Girl Scouts,” commented Jane. “I do wish Mr. Van Der Lann had made a ‘B’ to stand for Brownie.”
“All Brownie Scouts fly up to become Girl Scouts when they’re old enough,” declared Connie. “I like our flower bed just as he made it.”
“So do I,” agreed Rosemary. “I think this is the nicest surprise our troop ever had.”
“The very best,” echoed Sunny.
“How do you suppose Mr. Van Der Lann made the tulips grow so fast?” speculated Jane. “Why, it’s almost miraculous!”
“He couldn’t have planted bulbs, that’s certain,” replied Connie. “I know! He must have brought potted plants from Windmill Farm!”
“However he did it, I guess it proves the Brownie Story,” asserted Vevi.
The other girls asked her what she meant.
Vevi grinned happily and bent down to sniff the fragrance of a big yellow tulip. Then with twinkling eyes, she replied:
“Don’t you see? It’s magic, pure magic!”
