Still no seahorses, and the youngster’s legs were getting a waterlogged look from so much wading. But it was not lost time, for they found and learned about many other things.

John came along the beach to me, grumbling, “Everything I find, they say it isn’t–and I think it is.”

“Well, never mind,” I consoled. “I don’t suppose anyone will believe that what I have found–is what I think it is.”

“Well, then,” said John happily, “I can say that I found a seahorse–and you can say that you found . . . what were you looking for anyway, Mummy?”

“I don’t really know.”
