unable to find them when they needed them. They put the pie at the bottom and put heavy things on top
of it, which ended up ruining the pies. They poured salt all over the place and did wonders with the butter.

George got the butter stuck to his slippers. After he got it off his slippers, they attempted to put it in the
kettle but it wouldn’t go in. Then they put it down on a chair but Harris sat on it and the butter stuck to his
back. Then they went around looking for it. After a lot of searching, George discovered that it was at the
back of Harris the whole time and finally they packed it in the teapot.
And then their pet dog, Montmorency, came into the scene only to add to the commotion. Montmorency
was a naughty dog whose aim in life was to create hurdles and get scolded. It was only when he was
screamed at that he felt that his day had not been wasted. So, just when things were ready to be packed,
he came into the room and sat on them. Whenever Harris or George extended their hand for anything,
Montmorency made it a point that they reach for his nose. He put his leg into the jam, disorganized the
teaspoons and hampered the lemons.
After uncountable obstacles and tremendous efforts, finally, the packing was done at 12:50 and Harris sat
on the hamper hoping that nothing was broken. George consoled himself and Harris by saying that if
anything was found broken then it would be because it was already broken.

They all were ready for bed and decided to wake up at half past six. George was already asleep by then.
So, George and Jerome placed the bath where he could tumble into on getting up in the morning and
went to bed themselves.
