“If we should mark the place on the floor all the year round, we should find what time the sun is farthest to the south.”
“So we should,” said Rollo.
“It would be in the winter,” said Lucy.
“Yes,” said Rollo; “in the middle of the winter exactly.”
“Yes,” said Lucy; “and in the middle of the summer it would be nearest overhead.”
“Jonas and I will try it,” said Rollo.
“I can try it in the house,” said Lucy, “where the sun shines in at my chamber window.”
