Arrangements settled⁠—Harris’s method of doing work⁠—How the elderly, family-man puts up a picture⁠—George makes a sensible remark⁠—Delights of early morning bathing⁠—Provisions for getting upset.

So, on the following evening, we again assembled, to discuss and arrange our plans. Harris said:

“Now, the first thing to settle is what to take with us. Now, you get a bit of paper and write down, J. , and you get the grocery catalogue, George, and somebody give me a bit of pencil, and then I’ll make out a list.”

That’s Harris all over⁠—so ready to take the burden of everything himself, and put it on the backs of other people.
