“There!” she announced. “I’ve made my wish. Now it’s your turn, Connie. What will you wish?”
“No fair telling or it won’t come true.”
“You can give a hint, Connie. That wouldn’t do any harm.”
“My wish is about Windmill Farm.”
“You’re hoping we can go there again and find out about that locked room!” Vevi instantly guessed. “Isn’t that so?”
“Maybe,” laughed Connie, dropping her petal into the still water. “I won’t tell!”

The purpose of his visit accomplished, Mr. Piff now was ready to leave. He hustled everyone to the car, and promptly delivered the children to their separate homes.
Connie and Vevi heard no more about the flower show until the next Brownie Scout meeting at the library. Miss Gordon then told the girls that Mr. Piff had talked nearly everyone in Rosedale into cooperating in his scheme.
