Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)

George fooled the young couple, who seem to have lost their own boat, into pulling his. The couple, oblivious to everything around them, didn't notice when George tied their boat to the couple's tow line, which they went onto pull the boat all the way to Marlow.

George was about to call out and wake them up, but, at that moment, a bright idea flashed across him, and he didn’t. He got the hitcher instead, and reached over, and drew in the end of the tow-line; and they made a loop in it, and put it over their mast, and then they tidied up the sculls, and went and sat down in the stern, and lit their pipes.

And that young man and young woman towed those four hulking chaps and a heavy boat up to Marlow.
