“Well—I’m afraid the townsfolk may not like it. They never invite the Mexicans anywhere.”
Veve tossed her head. “That’s all the more reason for asking Juan. I don’t think it’s fair to make the Mexicans stay here in their camp all the time, just because they’re pickers.”
“Well, maybe they won’t come anyhow,” Connie said. “After all, you didn’t tell Juan what time the festival starts.”
“That’s so,” Veve agreed, somewhat in relief.
At the car once more, the girls showed Mrs. Webber and the other Brownies the fine gifts they had received.
“Oh, I’m so glad you have the quilt back again,” Eileen’s mother declared. “How pleased I am that no one actually stole it.”
Rosemary, Sunny and Jane also were delighted to have regained the precious quilt.
Nevertheless, they felt annoyed because the other three girls had not motioned for them to come to the camp.
“You could have waved your hand the way you promised you would!” Jane said with a toss of her head. “I guess you wanted to have all the fun yourselves!”
“And get a lot of presents,” added Sunny.
