We decided to start on the following Wednesday. George and I would take the tent from the Kingston, but Harris goes to sleep at an office from eight to five every other day... so he was going to meet us in a day. Harris and I were for camping out. We said it would be so convenient and cosy. But George was against it. He wanted to stay at hotels, because he was afraid to catch cold. As for Montmorency, he preferred romantic solitude to noisy gatherings. His idea of «life» was spending an evening by the seashore looking at the waving waters. So he gave to the suggestion of ‘camping out’ his approbation. So we were three to one, and we decided that we would sleep out.
