Girls
,
also
,
do
n't
look
half
bad
in
a
boat
,
if
prettily
dressed
.
Nothing
is
more
fetching
,
to
my
thinking
,
than
a
tasteful
boating
costume
.
442
But
a
"
boating
costume
,
"
it
would
be
as
well
if
all
ladies
would
understand
,
ought
to
be
a
costume
that
can
be
worn
in
a
boat
,
and
not
merely
under
a
glass-case
.
It
utterly
spoils
an
excursion
if
you
have
folk
in
the
boat
who
are
thinking
all
the
time
a
good
deal
more
of
their
dress
than
of
the
trip
.
It
was
my
misfortune
once
to
go
for
a
water
picnic
with
two
ladies
of
this
kind
.
We
did
have
a
lively
time
!
443
They
were
both
beautifully
got
up
--
all
lace
and
silky
stuff
,
and
flowers
,
and
ribbons
,
and
dainty
shoes
,
and
light
gloves
.
But
they
were
dressed
for
a
photographic
studio
,
not
for
a
river
picnic
.
They
were
the
"
boating
costumes
"
of
a
French
fashion-plate
.
It
was
ridiculous
,
fooling
about
in
them
anywhere
near
real
earth
,
air
,
and
water
.

The
first
thing
was
that
they
thought
the
boat
was
not
clean
.
We
dusted
all
the
seats
for
them
,
and
then
assured
them
that
it
was
,
but
they
did
n't
believe
us
.
One
of
them
rubbed
the
cushion
with
the
forefinger
of
her
glove
,
and
showed
the
result
to
the
other
,
and
they
both
sighed
,
and
sat
down
,
with
the
air
of
early
Christian
martyrs
trying
to
make
themselves
comfortable
up
against
the
stake
.
You
are
liable
to
occasionally
splash
a
little
when
sculling
,
and
it
appeared
that
a
drop
of
water
ruined
those
costumes
.
The
mark
never
came
out
,
and
a
stain
was
left
on
the
dress
for
ever
.
445
I
was
stroke
.
I
did
my
best
.
I
feathered
some
two
feet
high
,
and
I
paused
at
the
end
of
each
stroke
to
let
the
blades
drip
before
returning
them
,
and
I
picked
out
a
smooth
bit
of
water
to
drop
them
into
again
each
time
.
(
Bow
said
,
after
a
while
,
that
he
did
not
feel
himself
a
sufficiently
accomplished
oarsman
to
pull
with
me
,
but
that
he
would
sit
still
,
if
I
would
allow
him
,
and
study
my
stroke
.
He
said
it
interested
him
.
)
But
,
notwithstanding
all
this
,
and
try
as
I
would
,
I
could
not
help
an
occasional
flicker
of
water
from
going
over
those
dresses
.
446
The
girls
did
not
complain
,
but
they
huddled
up
close
together
,
and
set
their
lips
firm
,
and
every
time
a
drop
touched
them
,
they
visibly
shrank
and
shuddered
.
It
was
a
noble
sight
to
see
them
suffering
thus
in
silence
,
but
it
unnerved
me
altogether
.
I
am
too
sensitive
.
I
got
wild
and
fitful
in
my
rowing
,
and
splashed
more
and
more
,
the
harder
I
tried
not
to
.
447
I
gave
it
up
at
last
;
I
said
I
'd
row
bow
.
Bow
thought
the
arrangement
would
be
better
too
,
and
we
changed
places
.
The
ladies
gave
an
involuntary
sigh
of
relief
when
they
saw
me
go
,
and
quite
brightened
up
for
a
moment
.
Poor
girls
!
they
had
better
have
put
up
with
me
.
The
man
they
had
got
now
was
a
jolly
,
light-hearted
,
thick-headed
sort
of
a
chap
,
with
about
as
much
sensitiveness
in
him
as
there
might
be
in
a
Newfoundland
puppy
.
You
might
look
daggers
at
him
for
an
hour
and
he
would
not
notice
it
,
and
it
would
not
trouble
him
if
he
did
.
He
set
a
good
,
rollicking
,
dashing
stroke
that
sent
the
spray
playing
all
over
the
boat
like
a
fountain
,
and
made
the
whole
crowd
sit
up
straight
in
no
time
.
When
he
spread
more
than
pint
of
water
over
one
of
those
dresses
,
he
would
give
a
pleasant
little
laugh
,
and
say
:

"
I
beg
your
pardon
,
I
'm
sure
;
"
and
offer
them
his
handkerchief
to
wipe
it
off
with
.
449
"
Oh
,
it
's
of
no
consequence
,
"
the
poor
girls
would
murmur
in
reply
,
and
covertly
draw
rugs
and
coats
over
themselves
,
and
try
and
protect
themselves
with
their
lace
parasols
.
450
At
lunch
they
had
a
very
bad
time
of
it
.
People
wanted
them
to
sit
on
the
grass
,
and
the
grass
was
dusty
;
and
the
tree-trunks
,
against
which
they
were
invited
to
lean
,
did
not
appear
to
have
been
brushed
for
weeks
;
so
they
spread
their
handkerchiefs
on
the
ground
and
sat
on
those
,
bolt
upright
.
Somebody
,
in
walking
about
with
a
plate
of
beef-steak
pie
,
tripped
up
over
a
root
,
and
sent
the
pie
flying
.
