What o'clock is it, Margery ?" I pulled out my souvenir watch and answered, "Just eleven." "We ought to have some 'drinkings,' we've worked so hard," said Eleanor, laughing again.

"Haymakers, and people like that, always have drinkings at eleven, you know, and dinner at one, and tea at four or five, and supper at eight.

Ah! there goes Thomas.

Thomas!" Thomas came up, and Eleanor (discreetly postponing the subject of the rhubarb-pot for the present) sent a pleading message to cook, which resulted in her sending us two bottles of ginger-beer and several slices of thick bread-and-butter.

The dear boys, who had been very sensibly snoozing in the shade, divined by some instinct the arrival of our lunch-basket, and were kind enough to share the bread-and-butter with us.
"Drinkings" over, we set to work again.
I was surprised to observe that there were four box-edged beds, but as Eleanor said nothing about it, I made no remark.
