It seemed like the sun might be thinking about coming out about the time brunch at the Cliff House had been polished off late Sunday morning, Mabel Watson Payne needed a chance to run around and do some exploring.
She found a fence with a knocked-out knot-hole just at her level, This was convenient because the fence was low enough for grown-ups to see over but tall enough for little children not to see over at all.
The view to be seen (by the toddler community) through the knot hole included the famous Cliff House rocks below, coated with the dung of many seabirds over the centuries.
