“O no,” said Rollo; “that won’t do.”
“Why not?” said Lucy.
“Because the window does not come down to the floor, and so does not let the sun in enough.”
“O, that makes no difference,” said Lucy; “we have nothing to do with the bottom of the door; you only mark where it shines in the farthest, and that place is made by the top of the door, for it shines in farthest by the top of the door.”
“Well,” said Rollo, “I don’t know but that the house will do; but then you can’t chalk on the carpet.”
“Chalk on the carpet?” said Lucy.
“Yes, to mark the place.”
“No,” said Lucy, thinking; “but I can mark it some other way.”
“How?” asked Rollo.
“Why, I can put a pin in,” said Lucy.
