'' -RSB- Lee and I went to walk this afternoon , and we visited the old , old church of St. Nicolas . It said in the book that the apse still had its original stone roof , and Lee said it would be a good chance to learn what an apse was ; so we set out to go there , but we forgot all about where we set out for , and it was five o'clock before we finally got back to where it was . It stands in an old cemetery , and it says in the book that it has been secularized ; so we climbed up on gravestones till we could see in the windows and learn what that meant , also . The gravestones were all covered with lichen and so slippery that in the end Lee gave up and just helped me to look . We did n't learn much , though , for it was only full of hay .
