Who wanted chairs and chests of drawers and wash-stands? It would be fun to sleep in the shelter, and spend the whole day out of doors. "It's too topping for anything!" declared Marjorie Kemp, after a careful inspection of the premises.
"We shall have to keep all our things inside our bags, and wash in an enameled tin basin, and drink our tea out of mugs!" "It will be precious having meals under that tree!" agreed Bessie Kirk.

The Camp stood in the corner of a very large pasture, with hedges all covered with lovely wild roses and tangles of honeysuckle, while a wood close by showed a tempting vista of pine trees.
