Holiday time was near now, and we, that is, Harris and George and I met to
discuss our plans. Harris said that the first thing was to discuss what to take with us.
He also said that we couldn't take the whole world in a boat. They could take what
they really needed. "It is very important," Harris said, "to have everything we
need for a long swim every morning before breakfast." He also said that a long
swim always gave him fine appetite. "If you're going to eat more than you usually
do," George said, "I think we'll let you go swimming not more than once in three
or four days. If you go swimming every day, we'll never have enough food for
you. We won't be able to carry so much in the boat. "
So we discussed the food question. "Begin with breakfast," George said.
"For breakfast we must have a tea-pot," Harris said, "ham, eggs, bread and butter
and jam. It's easy to prepare breakfast with such things. And for lunch — cold meat,
bread and butter and jam
— but no cheese. "
We agreed. Cheese in a boat in summer, little by little becomes the master
of all the food. You may think you're eating sausage or meat and potatoes
or cake, but it all seems to be cheese.
