Connie had spied two large covered baskets on the back seat of the automobile.
“What are in these?” she demanded.
“Oh, those!” smiled her mother. “I thought the girls might want a little more lunch. I baked a cake and made potato salad. But if you’ve already had too much, I can take them home.”
The Brownies all hooted in protest at such a proposal.
“You leave those baskets right here!” laughed Connie.
“I should say so!” echoed Eileen.
“I could eat an entire cake myself,” added Jane.
The Brownies carried the baskets to the big oak tree. There, upon the tablecloth, they spread out an array of delicious looking food.
Besides cake and salad, Mrs. Williams also had brought cheese and pickles.
Veve helped herself to a large piece of cake.
