"Did she tell you, Grace?" cooed Cleo. "Wasn't that what I sprinted on ahead for?" demanded Madaline. "And do say you can go!" begged Margaret. "Is it really so, Captain?" asked Grace, a bit timidly, as if she feared to trust the good news. "Are we going camping?" "As if a true Girl Scout ever joked!" mocked Madaline. "Well, I know you of old, before you became a G. S.," retorted Grace.
