He discovered that Montmorency idea of life was to march around the slums with the most disreputable dogs.

Jerome would have go to Mr. Goggles for spirit level and Maria had to hold the light. He would lift up the picture, drop it, and cut his finger while saving the frame glass. He could not find handkerchief because it was in the coat and he was sitting on it. He would shout on
kumarysunil: everyone, “Oh, you can give it up. I have found it myself now.” At last, he was able to hang the picture on the wall at midnight and the wall would look as it had been smoothed down with a rake. He would then feel that job was done easily and extremely well. Jerome thought that Harris would be exactly like Uncle Podger when he grew up.
kumarysunil: The first list was too long so they made another based on what they really use. George said that a person should take with him one or two friend, a cat, a dog, enough food, sufficient clothes and drinks which make the boat easier to pull. George suggested to take a boat with cover instead of taking a tent. George and Harris loved early morning swim but Jerome hated it.
kumarysunil: George changed his mind when Harris said that early morning swim gave him an appetite. George told them that two suits of flannel would be enough for journey as they wash them in river. Later, Harris and Jerome regret that they believed George as he knows nothing about washing clothes.
