You forgot to build a back wall, for the fortress, Linus, so there would not be a "hole"for Lucy to sneak in, and hit you in the back of the head, with a snowball. Boy, whenever Lucy makes Linus lose his hat(his snowhat, in winter, of course)she does so in such a way, that he really DOES lose it(as it is not visible, after he loses it, like here—you’d have thought it would have landed just outside the fortress, but apparently, the blow from Lucy’s snowball must have been SO STRONG, that LInus’ hat flew quite a distance, from the fortress.
