“What could be worse?” demanded Connie.
“Biting into half a worm!”
The Brownies did not laugh very hard at Veve’s joke. During the morning picking, nearly everyone had bitten into at least one worm. It had not been a pleasant experience.
“I’m so hungry, I could even go for a worm,” added Veve, just to make the girls shudder. “Say, whose car is that?”
She had noticed a familiar blue sedan turning into the driveway.
“Why, that’s our car!” cried Connie, leaping to her feet. “It’s Mother!”
Now the Brownies were very surprised and pleased to see Mrs. Williams. Eagerly, they swarmed about the car.
“Having fun?” Connie’s mother asked.
“Oh, yes!” the girls told her. They really were, too.
