three on the boat - summary
4 people : George, Harris, hero and Montmorency sat in a room and spoke about each other illnesses. No one knew what happened to them, but they decided that it was a malaise caused by overwork. Harris suggested that need a rest and a change of scene. He suggested a walk on the sea. After a brief argument the characters decided that this was a good idea. Only Montmorancy was against this idea. But since there were 3 people against 1 the decision was made. The heroes spread out the map and began to discuss. Hero and Harris will go out in the morning and take the boat to Hell, and George will meet them there. While the characters were discussing the trip the question raised where they would spent the night. Having decide on a bed for the night, the characters began to discuss what belonging to take with them. Harris said that was enough for him for the day, and suggested a glass of whisky. George and Harris agreed. All questions were rescheduled for tomorrow. Harris suggested dividing up the duties and making a list of belonging. He took charge of the preparations. But the hero said that he would not allow himself to take on so much work. After a short discussion it was decided to give the list to George. George suggested taking bathroom supplies, a change of underwear (lots of socks and handkerchiefs)( in case they turned over). He also offered to take a boat with an awning. It is much easier this way. The question of food remained. When the issue of food was resolved, the heroes took all their belongings to one place and gathered in the evening to pack them. The hero said that he will be able to do it. When the hero collected the bag, it turned out that soon it is necessary to leave, but not all belonging were collected. Harris and George volunteered to help the hero. It turned out that they were very nasty helpers and they managed to make a big mess. Having packed all the things the heroes went to bed and asked George to wake them up at 6.30 am. In the morning, the hero was woken up by Mrs. Poets and found that they had overslept. The hero woke up Harrison and accused him of not having woken him. After a brief argument about who was supposed to wake who, the heroes went to get ready. After breakfast, the hero, Montmorency, and Harrison arrived at Waterloo. They began to ask where the train left at 11.05. No one knew where the train was going no matter who they asked. In the end they were asked to go to Kingston.
