There were two beds in the room; one was a 2ft. 6in. truckle bed, and George and I slept in that, and kept in by tying ourselves together with a sheet; and the other was the little boy's bed, and Harris had that all to himself, and we found him, in the morning, with two feet of bare leg sticking out at the bottom, and George and I used it to hang the towels on while we bathed.
V’erano due letti in una camera: l’uno di settanta centimetri di lunghezza, nel quale dormimmo io e Giorgio, legandoci insieme con un lenzuolo; e l’altro, che era del ragazzino, e che Harris tenne tutto per sè, vedemmo, la mattina, che gli scopriva in fondo sessanta centimetri di gambe nude. Giorgio e io le usammo per sospendervi l’asciugamano mentre ci lavavamo.
