I urged upon George, however, how much pleasanter it would be to have Harris clean and fresh about the boat, even if we did have to take a few more hundredweight of provisions; and he got to see it in my light, and withdrew his opposition to Harris's bath.
Je fis cependant valoir a George l’insigne avantage d’avoir a bord un Harris propre et frais, meme si ce devait etre au prix de quelques quintaux de provisions en plus. Il finit par se ranger a mon avis et retira son veto.
