If I may do so, without appearing boastful, I think I can honestly say that our one small boat, during that week, caused more annoyance and delay and aggravation to the steam launches that we came across than all the other craft on the river put together.
Sans me vanter, je puis dire que notre petit canot, durant cette semaine-la, leur causa plus de désagrément et de retard que toutes les autres embarcations de la Tamise réunies.
