The following passage is adapted from the nineteenth- century novel ‘Three Men in a Boat. In this scene, George, Wiliam Samuel, Harris, Jerome, and a dog named Montmorency take a typical boating holiday of the time on a Thames River camping skiff Jerome, the narrator, shares the story of how the journey with his ‘friends began. George had towed us upto Staines, and we had taken the bost from there and it seemed that we were dragging fifty tons after us, and were walking tine forty mils. It was half past seven when we were 6 through, and we all got in, and sulled up close to the lef bank, looking out fora spot to haul up in, ‘Wehad originally intended to go on to Magna Carta Island, sweetly pretty part ofthe river, where it winds through a sof, green valley, and to ‘amp in one ofthe many picturesque inlet to be found round that tiny shor.

They were not hoops, they were demons.
