．They wear brightly coloured clothes，and the river is full of colour-yellow，and blue，and orange，and green，and white，and red and pink．
At Hampton Harris wanted to get out and have a look at the church there，but I refused to stop．I have never liked visiting churches，but Harris loves them．He said，'I've looked forward to visiting Hampton Church ever since we decided to make this trip．'He added，'I only came on the trip because I thought we were going there！'
I reminded him about George．I said，'We've got to get the boat up to Shepperton by five o'clock to meet him．'
Then Harris got angry with George．'Why does George have to play around all day？Why has he left us with this big，heavy boat to tow up and down the river？Why couldn't George come and do some work？Why didn't he take a day's holiday and come down with us？The bank！Ha！What good is he at the bank？'He stopped for a moment and then he continued，'I never see him doing any work there．He sits behind a bit of glass all day，and he pretends to do something．What's the good of a man behind a bit of glass？I have to work．Why can't George work？What does he do at the bank？What good are banks，anyway？They take all your money，and then，when you write out a cheque，they send it back！They say you've spent all your money！What's the good of that？If George was here，we could go to see that church．Anyway，I don't be-lieve he's at the bank．He's playing about somewhere，that's what he's doing．And we've got to do all the work！… I'm going to get out and have a drink！'
I told him that there were no pubs nearby，and then he started shouting about the river．'What good is the river？We'll all die of thirst！No pubs！'（It's better to let Harris go on shouting when he gets angry．Then he gets tired，and he is quiet afterwards．）
I reminded him that we had water in the boat．Then he started shouting about water．He said drinks like that made people ill．
However，he said that he must drink something．He climbed onto the seat and he bent down to get the bottle out of the bas-ket．It was at the bottom，and he had to bend down，lower and lower．At the same time，he was trying to steer the boat，and he pulled the wrong rope．The boat turned sharply and bumped into the bank of the river，and Harris fell into the basket．He stood there on his head，and he held on to the side of the boat．His legs were in the air．He could not move in case he fell over．He had to stay there until I could catch his legs and pull him back．And that made him more angry．
We stopped under the trees by Kempton Park，and we had lunch．It is very pretty there，on the grass by the river，under the trees．We had an excellent meal，and Harris calmed down and began to enjoy himself again．
By half past three，we had reached Sunbury lock．Then we went up to Walton，which is quite an interesting place．Julius Caesar stayed there with his soldiers．Queen Elizabeth I，she was there too．You can never get away from that woman．She was everywhere．
Next we came to Halliford and Shepperton．There is an old church at Shepperton，and I was worried in case Harris wanted to go and visit it．I saw him looking towards it as we came near，but I moved the boat quickly，and Harris's cap fell into the water．We had to get it back，of course．Luckily，he was very angry with me，and so he forgot about his church．
As we came up to the lock at Weybridge，we saw something brightly coloured on one of the lock gates． When we looked closer，we saw that it was George．Montmorency started to bark madly．I shouted，and Harris called out wildly．George waved his cap and yelled back to us．The lock-keeper ran out because he thought someone had fallen in the water．He seemed annoyed when he saw that no one had fallen in．
■ 7 哈里斯生气了
哈里斯谈起在迷宫的事时，我们正驶过莫尔赛水闸。那天在水闸就我们一只船。通常那儿很拥挤。星期天或者天气好的话，那儿到处是船。人们都到河上来，穿着色彩艳丽的衣服，一片五光十色——黄的、蓝的、桔红、绿的、白的、红的、粉的。
到了汉普顿，哈里斯想上岸去看看那里的教堂，可我拒绝停下来，我从来不喜欢瞻仰教堂，而哈里斯却为之心仪已久。他说：“咱们计划出游的时候我就一直盼着来看看汉普顿教堂。”他又说：“我之所以来就是因为我想我们要到这儿。”
我提醒他别忘了乔治。我告诉他：“咱们还要在五点钟前赶到谢泼顿和他会合呢。”
于是，哈里斯一下把怒气都转向乔治。“为什么他可以整天晃荡，把这只又笨又沉的船扔下让我们划？为什么乔治不能来干点活呢？为什么不能休一天假，和我们一起行动呢？那个银行！哈！他在那儿有什么好的？”停了一会儿，他又接着说：“我可
