“Does it say anything about us?” inquired Veve.
“This one concerns routine business,” replied Mr. Gregg. “We’ll look at another.”
He slit the second envelope.
“Is it from Miss Gordon?” questioned Connie hopefully.
The detective shook his head.
Connie and Veve waited uneasily as he finally slit the third envelope. They were worried lest it fail to contain a message from the Brownie Scout leader or their parents.
Eva had told them the circus would leave late that night for another city fifty miles away. They did not wish to travel any farther from Shady Hollow Camp.
“Yes, this telegram does concern you,” Mr. Gregg announced.
Connie drew a deep breath. “What does it say?” she asked.
“The message is signed by Miss Gordon. She says she is driving through with Mrs. Williams and should arrive sometime this afternoon.”
