In spite of the burden that lay on Daisy's heart, she and Capt.

Drummond had a good time the next morning over the Saxon Heptarchy.

They went down to the shore for it, at Daisy's desire, where they would be undisturbed; and the morning was hardly long enough.

The Captain had provided himself with a shallow tray filled with modelling clay; which he had got from an artist friend living a few miles further up the river.

On this the plan of England was nicely marked out, and by the help of one or two maps which he cut up for the occasion, the Captain divided off the seven kingdoms greatly to Daisy's satisfaction and enlightenment.
