“I can’t tell you now,” she said, “for as yet it’s only an idea. Just be sure to come to the Brownie meeting next Wednesday. Who knows? I may have something interesting to report.”
CHAPTER 2
A Tightrope Act
NOW, as might be expected, not a Brownie Scout was late at the Wednesday afternoon meeting, for all were eager to plan a means of earning camp expense money.
When Miss Gordon arrived at Eileen Webber’s home where the Brownies had gathered, she brought with her a fat stack of printed tickets. Rosemary noticed them at once.
“Oh, are we to sell tickets to a show?” she asked quickly.
“A circus, not a show,” corrected Miss Gordon. “That is, if the troop is interested.”
“Oh, we are,” insisted Connie. “Circus tickets should be easy to sell.”
Miss Gordon explained that the idea had occurred to her on the day of the Brownie hike when she had noticed the circus posters.
“I talked to the circus advance man,” she added, “and the management has agreed to pay us forty cents for each ticket we sell.”
