“Just think of going to Washington!” Connie exclaimed, her eyes star-bright at the thought. “Is it really true, Miss Gordon?”
“Yes, I’ve given my consent,” the Brownie leader nodded. “And so have your parents.”
“Will you go with us?” Rosemary asked anxiously.
“Yes, that is the plan. All expenses will be paid and we’re to stay nearly a week.”
“Will we really see the President?” Eileen asked in awe.
“Indeed, yes,” smiled Miss Gordon. “And the White House as well.”
“I want to visit the Red Room!” shouted Sunny. “And see the swimming pool!”
“I want to visit the mint where the money is made!” laughed Eileen.
All of the girls thought of dozens of things they intended to see and do.
The crowd began to clap and to call for the Brownies to appear on the stage.
