“Not since we lost the raft,” Bobby reminded her.
“I wonder if we’ll ever find that,” said Meg for the fortieth time.
“If I were you,” Aunt Polly announced briskly, “I’d think up the nicest thing to do for a rainy day and have just as much fun as I could.”
“Let’s go out in the barn,” suggested Twaddles.
“We could see what Jud is doing,” Dot chimed in.
“He’s mending the corn shelter,” said Bobby, who usually knew what was going on at the farm.
“I think it would be fun to play lighthouse in the barn and take our lunch and stay all day,” Meg declared, having thought of this while the others were talking.
None of them knew what the lighthouse game might be, but it sounded new and exciting. Aunt Polly said she didn’t see why they couldn’t have a picnic in the barn as well as outdoors and she promised to help Linda put up a lunch for them.
“Only remember not to bother Jud, if he is busy,” she cautioned them.
