“Well—”
“Oh, please!” coaxed several of the Brownies. And Sunny added: “After all our work on the quilt we just have to get it back.”
In the end, Mrs. Webber agreed to drive the girls to the Mexican camp. She disliked to take the responsibility, however, in Miss Gordon’s absence.
Eileen sat with her mother in the front seat, pointing out the side road which the Wingate driver had taken a few hours before.

“Stop here, Mother!” Eileen directed.
As the car halted just off the road, Connie heard an interesting sound.
“Listen!” she commanded.
Mrs. Webber switched off the car engine and everyone listened.
From amid the trees came the strumming sound of a guitar. The girls also could hear someone singing in Spanish.
