At the end of three weeks we thought we knew it all. They gave us six days' holiday, and on the seventh we arrived back at the depot: Nanette who was rich. Emma who was bossy, and Charity who was nothing in particular but probably the most agreeable of the three. Our kitbags were stuffed with clean shirts, our hearts were fixed on the peculiar glory of becoming accomplished canal boaters.
