We made a list of things to be taken, and on the next day, which was Friday, we got them all together, and met in the evening to pack. We got a large bag for the clothes , and two big baskets for the food and the cooking utensils. We moved the table up against the window , put everything in the middle of the floor, and sat round and looked at it.
I said I'd pack.
Packing is one of those many things that I feel I know more about than any other person living. I told George and Harris that they had better leave the whole matter to me. George lit his pipe and spread himself over the easy chair, and Harris put his legs on the table and lit a cigar.
This was hardly what I meant. What I had meant of course was that I should be in charge of the job, and that Harris and George should follow my instructions. Their taking it in the way they did annoyed me. There is nothing that makes me angry more than seeing other people sitting about doing nothing when I'm working.
However, I did not say anything, but started the packing. It seemed a longer job than I had thought it was going to be; but I got the bag finished at last , and I sat on it and strapped it.
"Are not you going to put the boots in?" said Harris.
I looked round and found that I had forgotten them. That's just like Harris. He could not have said a word until I'd got the bag shut and strapped, of course. George laughed. They make me so wild.
I opened the bag and packed the boots in; and then, just as I was going to shut it, an awful idea came to me. Had I packed my toothbrush?
Of course I had to turn everything out now and, of course, I could not find it. I found George's and Harris' eighteen times over, but I could not find mine. I put the things back one by one . Then I found the tooth-brush in a boot. I repacked again.
When I had finished, I found that I had packed my tobacco and had to open it. It got shut at 10.05 pm, and then there remained the baskets to pack. Harris said that he and George had better do the rest, I agreed and sat down.
