“Money.”
“How much?”
“Fifty cents. Veve spent most of it for peanuts and pop.”
“Fifty cents isn’t much,” said the circus child. “Once I found a five dollar bill.”
Connie, who usually was very even tempered, began to feel a bit provoked. She was quite sure now that Eva was trying to put herself forward as a very important person.
“What did you do with the money you found?” she inquired, attempting to be polite.
“Savings bank,” replied Eva briefly.
“I have a savings account too,” said Connie. “I’ve built it up to fifty-eight dollars and twenty-nine cents.”
Eva laughed in a superior sort of way. “I make that much money every week,” she said.
Now the Brownies did not like the circus girl’s boastful manner. But they were rather impressed.
