The things she pointed at were dotted all over the level grass. They were certainly very like mushrooms， but far tooig.the stalks about three feet high and the umbrellas bout the same length from edge to edge. When she oked carefully she noticed too that the stalks joined the mbrellas not in the middle but at one side which gave an nbalanced look to them. And there was something.a ort of little bundle.lying on the grass at the foot of each alk. In fact the longer she gazed at them the less like ushrooms they appeared. The umbrella part was not really ound as she had thought at first. It was longer than it was road， and it widened at one end. There were a great many f them， fifty or more.
The clock struck three.
