Tommy, chancing to catch the eyes of Margery Brown on the opposite
side of the circle, winked wisely at her. Tommy was in her element,
but quite the opposite was the case with Harriet. She was
uncomfortable and embarrassed, and though proud of the beads that had
been awarded to her, she felt that she scarcely had earned them. She
was suddenly aroused by the voice of the Chief Guardian.
"Miss Thompson will be seated," she was saying. "Miss Burrell will
kindly remain standing."
"Now you are going to catch it," whispered Grace, as she began
stepping backward toward her place, which she did not quite reach. She
sat down on Hazel instead, raising a titter among the girls near by
who had witnessed the mishap. But the interruption was brief. The
girls were too much interested in what was taking place there by the
campfire. They had not the remotest idea what the Chief Guardian was
going to do, though they felt positive that some further honor was to
be paid to Harriet Burrell.
"I think I but voice the feelings of the guardians and the girls of
Camp Wau-Wau, both those who are with us here for the first time and,
those who were members of this camp when the Meadow-Brook Girls
joined, when I say that Harriet Burrell is deserving of further
promotion at our hands.
