We went to a good many shops, adopting this principle at each one; and the consequence was that, by the time we had finished, we had as fine a collection of boys with baskets following us around as heart could desire; and our final march down the middle of the High Street, to the river, must have been as imposing a spectacle as Marlow had seen for many a long day.

The order of the procession was as follows:—

Two disreputable-looking curs, friends of Montmorency's.

When we got down to the landing-stage, the boatman said (когда мы спустились к пристани, лодочник сказал):

"Let me see, sir (позвольте, сэр); was yours a steam-launch or a house-boat (у вас был паровой баркас или баржа; house-boat — плавучий дом /баржа с палубной каютой для жилья или отдыха/)?"

On our informing him it was a double-sculling skiff, he seemed surprised (когда мы сообщили ему, что /у нас/ четырехвесельная лодка, он казался удивленным).
