Then
I
began
to
get
nervous
myself
.
I
looked
again
at
the
map
.
There
was
Wallingford
lock
,
clearly
marked
,
a
mile
and
a
half
below
Benson
's
.
It
was
a
good
,
reliable
map
;
and
,
besides
,
I
recollected
the
lock
myself
.
I
had
been
through
it
twice
.
Where
were
we
?
What
had
happened
to
us
?
I
began
to
think
it
must
be
all
a
dream
,
and
that
I
was
really
asleep
in
bed
,
and
should
wake
up
in
a
minute
,
and
be
told
it
was
past
ten
.
672
I
asked
my
cousin
if
she
thought
it
could
be
a
dream
,
and
she
replied
that
she
was
just
about
to
ask
me
the
same
question
;
and
then
we
both
wondered
if
we
were
both
asleep
,
and
if
so
,
who
was
the
real
one
that
was
dreaming
,
and
who
was
the
one
that
was
only
a
dream
;
it
got
quite
interesting
.
673
I
still
went
on
pulling
,
however
,
and
still
no
lock
came
in
sight
,
and
the
river
grew
more
and
more
gloomy
and
mysterious
under
the
gathering
shadows
of
night
,
and
things
seemed
to
be
getting
weird
and
uncanny
.
I
thought
of
hobgoblins
and
banshees
,
and
will-o
'
-
the-wisps
,
and
those
wicked
girls
who
sit
up
all
night
on
rocks
,
and
lure
people
into
whirl-pools
and
things
;
and
I
wished
I
had
been
a
better
man
,
and
knew
more
hymns
;
and
in
the
middle
of
these
reflections
I
heard
the
blessed
strains
of
"
He
's
got
'em
on
,
"
played
,
badly
,
on
a
concertina
,
and
knew
that
we
were
saved
.

I
do
not
admire
the
tones
of
a
concertina
,
as
a
rule
;
but
,
oh
!
how
beautiful
the
music
seemed
to
us
both
then
--
far
,
far
more
beautiful
than
the
voice
of
Orpheus
or
the
lute
of
Apollo
,
or
anything
of
that
sort
could
have
sounded
.
Heavenly
melody
,
in
our
then
state
of
mind
,
would
only
have
still
further
harrowed
us
.
A
soul-moving
harmony
,
correctly
performed
,
we
should
have
taken
as
a
spirit-warning
,
and
have
given
up
all
hope
.
But
about
the
strains
of
"
He
's
got
'em
on
,
"
jerked
spasmodically
,
and
with
involuntary
variations
,
out
of
a
wheezy
accordion
,
there
was
something
singularly
human
and
reassuring
.
675
The
sweet
sounds
drew
nearer
,
and
soon
the
boat
from
which
they
were
worked
lay
alongside
us
.
676
It
contained
a
party
of
provincial
'
Arrys
and
'
Arriets
,
out
for
a
moonlight
sail
.
(
There
was
not
any
moon
,
but
that
was
not
their
fault
.
)
I
never
saw
more
attractive
,
lovable
people
in
all
my
life
.
I
hailed
them
,
and
asked
if
they
could
tell
me
the
way
to
Wallingford
lock
;
and
I
explained
that
I
had
been
looking
for
it
for
the
last
two
hours
.
677
"
Wallingford
lock
!
"
they
answered
.
"
Lor
'
love
you
,
sir
,
that
's
been
done
away
with
for
over
a
year
.
There
ai
n't
no
Wallingford
lock
now
,
sir
.
You
're
close
to
Cleeve
now
.
Blow
me
tight
if
'
ere
ai
n't
a
gentleman
been
looking
for
Wallingford
lock
,
Bill
!

I
had
never
thought
of
that
.
I
wanted
to
fall
upon
all
their
necks
and
bless
them
;
but
the
stream
was
running
too
strong
just
there
to
allow
of
this
,
so
I
had
to
content
myself
with
mere
cold-sounding
words
of
gratitude
.
679
We
thanked
them
over
and
over
again
,
and
we
said
it
was
a
lovely
night
,
and
we
wished
them
a
pleasant
trip
,
and
,
I
think
,
I
invited
them
all
to
come
and
spend
a
week
with
me
,
and
my
cousin
said
her
mother
would
be
so
pleased
to
see
them
.
And
we
sang
the
soldiers
'
chorus
out
of
Faust
,
and
got
home
in
time
for
supper
,
after
all
.
680
Harris
and
I
began
to
think
that
Bell
Weir
lock
must
have
been
done
away
with
after
the
same
manner
.
George
had
towed
us
up
to
Staines
,
and
we
had
taken
the
boat
from
there
,
and
it
seemed
that
we
were
dragging
fifty
tons
after
us
,
and
were
walking
forty
miles
.
It
was
half-past
seven
when
we
were
through
,
and
we
all
got
in
,
and
sculled
up
close
to
the
left
bank
,
looking
out
for
a
spot
to
haul
up
in
.
