1. Setting Off

George, Harris and J holiday on the River Thames from Kingston to Oxford - with Montmorency the dog.

"We arranged to start on the following Saturday. Harris and I would take the boat up to Chertsey, and George, who would not be able to get away from the city till the afternoon, would meet us there. (George goes to sleep at the bank from ten to four each day, except Saturdays, when they wake him up and put him outside at two)."
