“You can if you like,” Eva answered, leading the girls across the lot. “I guess you had a hard time of it in that box car and are pretty tired.”
“We’re dead,” admitted Connie.
She felt very grateful to the little circus girl for showing so much interest in helping them. Eva really was very nice.
“I wonder when we’ll hear from Miss Gordon,” remarked Veve anxiously, following the other two girls.
“Probably by the time you’ve had your snooze a telegram will be here.”
“Then we’ll have to go home or back to camp,” said Veve. “I won’t mind if it’s the latter. But first, I want to see the circus performance again.”
“I know something I should like to do too,” declared Connie earnestly. “Something important.”
“What?” asked Veve and Eva.
“I should like to find the man who took Miss Gordon’s wrist watch and the Brownie Scout money. Then maybe she would forgive us for riding away on the circus train.”
“I don’t think there’s a chance we’ll ever see that old pickpocket again,” replied Veve.
