Emily, Dorothy and Henry could not keep their eyes off of the woman before them. She wore khaki green and her hair was in perfect golden waves.

" So tell me Miss?". Henry's voice hesitated. " How did you happen to land your plane in our field?".

" My name is Adelaide Watson". She pointed. " This here is my duster plane".

Dorothy was running around the plane. " Auntie Em, I watched Miss Adelaide fall out of the sky".

" My duster plane was having engine trouble". She sighed. " Your field was the best place to land".

Dorothy noticed a number on the plane. " Miss Adelaide, what does the number 99 mean?".

" I'm part of a group called the 99's". She smiled. " Our president is an aviator named Amelia Earhart".

Dorothy's eyes got bigger. " You know Amelia Earhart?".

" Sure do". She quickly replied. " I am going to be performing at the circus coming here next week".

" The circus". Dorothy began running around the plane again. " Please Auntie Em can I go?".

Emily smiled. " Yes, you can go".
