Merry and Susan are not paying any attention to the grown-ups right now.
They are busy chasing the seagulls away from the bread and apple that have been discarded.
"Shoo. Go 'way," Merry says. "You were bad."
"And you don't get rewarded for being bad," Susan adds.
Certainly not bread and apples.
"We're going to save these for birds who weren't bad," Susan says, collecting the rejected and somewhat shredded bread from the beach.
"Let that be a lesson to you," Merry adds, with the air of a child who is quoting a grown-up (and, specifically, who is quoting Nurse Jemima, who believes that just about anything can be made into a lesson).
