Connie was the quiet, thoughtful member of the group. Sometimes the other Brownies, Rosemary Fritche, Sunny Davidson and Jane Tuttle, teased her by calling her “the thinker.”
“Oh, no,” replied Miss Mohr. “I am not sure of the plans, but we would assist Mrs. Langley.”
The Brownie Scouts all knew that Mrs. Langley was president of the Rosedale Garden Club. She lived with her servants on a large estate of many acres at the edge of town.
Each spring when bulbs bloomed, her gardens were the most beautiful in Rosedale.
“May we help Mrs. Langley?” asked Jane Tuttle, with a toss of her long pigtails. She directed the question at Miss Gordon.
“Why, yes,” the troop leader promptly agreed. “I think the project would be a most worthwhile one.”
“When will Rosedale have its flower show?” inquired Sunny Davidson.
Miss Mohr explained that the exact date had not yet been set. It would depend, she said, upon the weather, and when the tulips reached the climax of bloom.
“This year Mrs. Langley hopes to interest all garden growers and possibly the commercial raisers,” she added. “We want our show to be the best ever!”
“Speaking of commercial growers, reminds me of something!” spoke up Miss Gordon. “Do you girls know Peter Van Der Lann?”
