Chapter 3 A LOVELY DAY - AND A LOVELY NIGHT
The five of them had a lovely time that evening. They had tea about half past five, and then boughtwhat they wanted for supper and breakfast. New rolls, anchovy1 paste, a big round jam-tart in acardboard box, oranges, lime-juice, a fat lettuce2 and some ham sandwiches - it seemed a very niceassortment indeed.

'Let's hope we don't eat it all for supper, and have no breakfast left,' said George, packing thesandwiches into her basket. 'Get down, Timmy. These sandwiches are not for you. I've bought you awhacking big bone - that will keep you busy for hours!'
'Well, don't let him have it when we settle down for the night,' said Anne. 'He makes such a row,crunching and munching3. He'd keep me awake.'
'Nothing would keep me awake tonight,' said Dick. 'I believe I could sleep through an earthquake. I'malready thinking kindly4 of my sleeping-bag.'
'I don't think we need to put up our tents tonight,' said Julian, looking up at the perfectly5 clear sky. 'I'llask someone what the weather forecast was on the radio at six. Honestly I think we could justsnuggle into our sleeping-bags and have the sky for a roof.'
'How smashing!' said Anne. 'I'd love to lie and look at the stars.'
The weather forecast was good. 'Fine and clear and mild'.
'Good,' said Julian. 'That will save us a lot of trouble - we don't even need to unpack6 our tents.
Come on - have we got everything now? Does anyone feel as if we ought to buy any more food?'
The baskets were all full. Nobody thought it advisable to try and get anything more into them.
'We could get lots more in if Timmy would only carry his own bones,' said Anne. 'Half my basket iscrammed with enormous bones for him. Why can't you rig up something so that Timmy could carryhis own food, George? I'm sure he's clever enough.'
'Yes, he's clever enough,' said George. 'But he's much too greedy, Anne. You know that. He'd stopand eat all his food at once if he had to carry it. Dogs seem to be able to eat anything at any time.'
