Miss Gordon gazed from one expectant face to another. All the girls were waiting hopefully for her answer.
“Yes, Eva,” she agreed. “If matters can be arranged we’ll have the investiture immediately after the show.”
“Just leave everything to me!” laughed the little circus girl.
With a shout of pleasure, she darted off to find the wardrobe man and tell everyone the exciting news.
CHAPTER 14
Miss Gordon’s Watch
THAT night not only the Brownies, but the circus children as well, were so excited they could not eat much dinner.
“Just think!” Eileen declared to Rosemary. “We’re to be in a real circus performance—not just a make-believe show! What a story we’ll have to tell when we return to Rosedale!”
While the Brownies were excited at the thought of being in the circus, Eva and the circus children could talk only of the Brownie Scout troop which was to be organized. Miss Gordon and Miss Whitlock had spent an hour together, discussing the investiture ceremony.
Eva, happier than she had been since Connie and Veve had joined the circus, flew everywhere, issuing instructions. She was not satisfied until she knew every detail had been arranged for the initiation.
