Packing
Tekst Storyboardowy
- “Oh, you!” “Here, let me do it.” “There you are, simple enough!”
- “Ain’t you going to put the boots in?”
- I SAID I’d pack.I rather pride myself on my packing. They fell into the suggestion with a readiness that had something uncanny about it.
- Jerome thought that his ability to pack luggage was better than others. He asked his friends George and Harris to leave the task of packing to him. George sat comfortably on the easy–chair and Harris bent his knees as he sat on the sofa and kept his feet on the table.This was hardly what I intended. Their taking it in the way they did irritate me.
- By saying that he would pack, the writer did not mean that his friends would sit and relax while he would do all the work. He had meant that he would boss upon them while they would do all the chores.He would loll on the sofa and watch me doing things by the hour together. He said it did him real good to look on at me, messing about.I want to get up and superintend, and walk around with my hands in my pockets, and tell him what to do.
- He recollects that once he lived with a man who would sit lazily on the sofa all day through and would watch the writer do all the work. This would make the writer mad with anger. The writer adds that he could not sit idle and watch others work like slaves.
- As he closed it, Harris said that he had forgotten to pack the boots. I don’t know how it is, but I never do know whether I’ve packed my toothbrush. As he was about to close it, he was struck by a strange thought that had he kept the toothbrush or not. He says that he never remembers if he has packed the toothbrush or not. My toothbrush is a thing that haunts me when I’m traveling and makes my life a misery.
- As Jerome was looking for his toothbrush in his bag, he had to remove everything but he could not find it. He kept everything back into the bag one by one, shaking each item, and finally, found the brush inside a boot. I said I didn’t care whether the soap was in or whether it wasn’t; and I slammed the bag shut and strapped it, and found that I had packed my spectacles in it, and had to re-open it. It got shut up finally at 10.05 p.m., and then there remained the hampers to do.
