MONDAY dawned bright and fair. The picnic on the lake was a great success. Ruffie was made comfortable with cushions in the boat, and the little girls were allowed to take an oar together, whilst the old gardener Stephen took the other. They rowed across to a small island, and landed there for lunch.
At six o'clock they came home; a rather tired but a very happy little party. Anstice had the art of making and keeping children so.
