We never said good-night even to one another.
We came downstairs one at a time, walking softly, and keeping the shady side.

We asked the servant for our hats and coats in whispers, and opened the door for ourselves, and slipped out, and got round the corner quickly, avoiding each other as much as possible.
I have never taken much interest in German songs since then.
We reached Sunbury Lock at half-past three.

The river is sweetly pretty just there before you come to the gates, and the backwater is charming; but don't attempt to row up it.
I tried to do so once.

I was sculling, and asked the fellows who were steering if they thought it could be done, and they said, oh, yes, they thought so, if I pulled hard.

We were just under the little foot-bridge that crosses it between the two weirs, when they said this, and I bent down over the sculls, and set myself up, and pulled.
I pulled splendidly.
