“Well, you might think it over, Eva,” remarked her father. “When Miss Gordon and Mrs. Williams arrive here, I’ll talk to them about taking you to Rosedale. No doubt they could find a nice place for you to board and room.”
“We should like to have you, Eva,” declared Connie politely.
“You could join our Brownie troop,” added Veve. “Of course we have rules you would have to obey.”
“I’d like to be a Brownie,” said Eva slowly. “That would be the best part.”
“Then you’ll return home with us?” Connie asked.
But Eva was not ready to give her answer.
“I don’t know,” she said soberly. “I will think about it hard today and let you know later. After all, perhaps I would rather stay in the circus.”
