I found him in trouble the next time I awoke because he could not find his socks, and my last hazy remembrance is of being rolled over on my side, and of hearing Harris muttering something about it being an extraordinary thing where his umbrella could have got to.

George said he would steer after that. He said a mind like mine ought not to be expected to give itself away in steering boats - better let a mere commonplace human being see after that boat, before we jolly well all got drowned; and he took the lines, and brought us up to Marlow.
And at Marlow, we left the boat by the bridge, and went and put up for the night at the 'Crown'.

We thanked them over and over again, said it was a lovely night, wished them a pleasant trip, and, I think, invited them all to come and spend a week with me. My cousin said her mother would be so pleased to see them. And we sang the 'Soldiers' Chorus' out of Faust, and got home in time for supper after all.

George made no answer, and we found, on going over, that he had been asleep for some time; so we placed the bath where he could tumble into it on getting out in the morning, and went to bed ourselves.
