O. J. L.--Is it by the sea? Near the water, he says; he doesn't say the sea. No, he won't say that; he says, near water. It looks hot there. O. J. L.--Will the boys know? You will know soon about it, he says. Feda gets a feeling that there are two or three moving about inside that tent. O. J. L.--Is it all one chamber in the tent? He didn't say that. He was going to say, no, and then he stopped to think. No, I don't think it was, it was divided off. [Illustration: LARGE DOUBLE-COMPARTMENT TENT IN ITS FIRST FORM (1905) (BUILT AT MARIEMONT AND TAKEN TO WOOLACOMBE)] [Illustration: THE TENT IN ITS SECOND FORM (1906) MADE OUT OF THE REMAINS OF THE FIRST] [See photographs of two forms of this tent.] Now he is showing something right on top of that. Now he is showing Feda a yacht, a boat with white sails. Now he is going back to the tent again. The raised up land is at the back of the tent, well set back. It doesn't give an even sticking up, but it goes right along, with bits up and bits lower down. [The description could not be completely taken down, but it gave the impression of a raised bank of varying height, behind an open space, and a tent in front of it. It quite suggested that sort of picture.] [See photograph facing p. 252.] Maps, what's that? Maps, maps, he says. He's saying something about maps. This is something that the boys will know. Poring, he says. Not pouring anything out, but poring over maps. Ask the boys. [See note after further reference to maps later in the sitting.] O. J. L.--What about that yacht with sails; did it run on the water? No. (Feda, _sotto voce_.--Oh, Raymond, don't be silly!) He says, no. (Feda.--It must have done!) He's showing Feda like a thing on land, yes, a land thing. It's standing up, like edgeways. A narrow thing. No it isn't water, but it has got nice white sails. O. J. L.--Did it go along? He says it DIDN'T! He's laughing! When he said 'didn't' he shouted it. Feda should have said, 'He laid peculiar emphasis on it.' This is for the boys. O. J. L.--Had they got to do with that thing? Yes, they will know, they will understand. Yes, he keeps on showing like a boat--a yacht, he calls it, a yacht. [See note below and photographs.] Now he is showing Feda some figures. Something flat, like a wall. Rods and things, long rods. Some have got little round things shaking on them, like that. And he's got strings, some have got strings. 'Strings' isn't the right word, but it will do. Smooth, strong, string-like. In the corner, where it's a little bit dark, some one is standing up and leaning against something, and a piece of stuff is flapping round them.
