There are lots of pleasant things to do in Ambergeldar, and while she's there, Meg intends to take advantage of all of them.

So today, she and Amy are out picnicking. It's a lovely day; the food is delicious; there is coffee and tea enough to satisfy both of them, and Susan is safe with her nursemaid in the castle.

All is extremely well.

It is a perfectly lovely day to picnic. (The palace grounds have any number of good picnic spots, but this is one of Amy's favorites.)

Amy selects a sandwich from the basket between them and grins at Meg.

"You do realize that the last time we tried anything like this we wound up flying into the Milliways lake."

Well, there's no lakes here, *Meg says, cheerfully,* so we should be all right, I think. Unless one devours from beneath us.

The lake isn't that far away, really. But far enough. Especially since they're not picnicking on a flying carpet this time.

"I think that's highly unlikely," Amy says. "The gardeners don't allow that sort of thing."

*Meg looks sage.* Well, this is a magic kingdom. You never know. But being the kind of place it is, I'm sure at least it would be a very pleasant devouring lake.
