When the flora really bursts into bloom, Billy and Alice spend some of their free time walking the lanes and the woods picking wild flowers. They arrange some into little bouquets with which to appease their guardian and press others to put in a scrap book. Alice shows Billy how to make a daisy chain and they spend many a day on the lawn making each other garlands, headbands, necklaces and bracelets. They also spend many a stuffy summery day paddling in the secluded beck wearing only their underwear (knickers, silk chemise and corsets) whilst their dresses lay neatly folded beneath their shoes on the grassy bank.
