We
gave
him
all
the
regular
ones
--
the
time-honoured
lies
that
have
done
duty
up
the
river
with
every
boating-man
for
years
past
--
and
added
seven
entirely
original
ones
that
we
had
invented
for
ourselves
,
including
a
really
quite
likely
story
,
founded
,
to
a
certain
extent
,
on
an
all
but
true
episode
,
which
had
actually
happened
in
a
modified
degree
some
years
ago
to
friends
of
ours
--
a
story
that
a
mere
child
could
have
believed
without
injuring
itself
,
much
.
And
that
young
man
mocked
at
them
all
,
and
wanted
us
to
repeat
the
feats
then
and
there
,
and
to
bet
us
ten
to
one
that
we
did
n't
.
We
got
to
chatting
about
our
rowing
experiences
this
morning
,
and
to
recounting
stories
of
our
first
efforts
in
the
art
of
oarsmanship
.
My
own
earliest
boating
recollection
is
of
five
of
us
contributing
threepence
each
and
taking
out
a
curiously
constructed
craft
on
the
Regent
's
Park
lake
,
drying
ourselves
subsequently
,
in
the
park-keeper
's
lodge
.
After
that
,
having
acquired
a
taste
for
the
water
,
I
did
a
good
deal
of
rafting
in
various
suburban
brickfields
--
an
exercise
providing
more
interest
and
excitement
than
might
be
imagined
,
especially
when
you
are
in
the
middle
of
the
pond
and
the
proprietor
of
the
materials
of
which
the
raft
is
constructed
suddenly
appears
on
the
bank
,
with
a
big
stick
in
his
hand
.
Your
first
sensation
on
seeing
this
gentleman
is
that
,
somehow
or
other
,
you
do
n't
feel
equal
to
company
and
conversation
,
and
that
,
if
you
could
do
so
without
appearing
rude
,
you
would
rather
avoid
meeting
him
;
and
your
object
is
,
therefore
,
to
get
off
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
pond
to
which
he
is
,
and
to
go
home
quietly
and
quickly
,
pretending
not
to
see
him
.
He
,
on
the
contrary
is
yearning
to
take
you
by
the
hand
,
and
talk
to
you
.
It
appears
that
he
knows
your
father
,
and
is
intimately
acquainted
with
yourself
,
but
this
does
not
draw
you
towards
him
.
He
says
he
'll
teach
you
to
take
his
boards
and
make
a
raft
of
them
;
but
,
seeing
that
you
know
how
to
do
this
pretty
well
already
,
the
offer
,
though
doubtless
kindly
meant
,
seems
a
superfluous
one
on
his
part
,
and
you
are
reluctant
to
put
him
to
any
trouble
by
accepting
it
.
His
anxiety
to
meet
you
,
however
,
is
proof
against
all
your
coolness
,
and
the
energetic
manner
in
which
he
dodges
up
and
down
the
pond
so
as
to
be
on
the
spot
to
greet
you
when
you
land
is
really
quite
flattering
.
If
he
be
of
a
stout
and
short-winded
build
,
you
can
easily
avoid
his
advances
;
but
,
when
he
is
of
the
youthful
and
long-legged
type
,
a
meeting
is
inevitable
.
The
interview
is
,
however
,
extremely
brief
,
most
of
the
conversation
being
on
his
part
,
your
remarks
being
mostly
of
an
exclamatory
and
mono-syllabic
order
,
and
as
soon
as
you
can
tear
yourself
away
you
do
so
.
I
devoted
some
three
months
to
rafting
,
and
,
being
then
as
proficient
as
there
was
any
need
to
be
at
that
branch
of
the
art
,
I
determined
to
go
in
for
rowing
proper
,
and
joined
one
of
the
Lea
boating
clubs
.
Being
out
in
a
boat
on
the
river
Lea
,
especially
on
Saturday
afternoons
,
soon
makes
you
smart
at
handling
a
craft
,
and
spry
at
escaping
being
run
down
by
roughs
or
swamped
by
barges
;
and
it
also
affords
plenty
of
opportunity
for
acquiring
the
most
prompt
and
graceful
method
of
lying
down
flat
at
the
bottom
of
the
boat
so
as
to
avoid
being
chucked
out
into
the
river
by
passing
tow-lines
.
