Stran 145 - B family were borne in on the top of a wave, and landed with their faces against the front of the platform. I read with the platform crammed with people. I got them to lie down upon it, and it was like some impossible tableau or gigantic pic-nic — one pretty girl in full dress, lying on her side all night, holding on to one of the legs of my table !
