Soon the shores of the pond were so crowded that a policeman was sent from headquarters to announce that everybody would have to stop pushing, but nobody did.

He was a fat, sulky boy of twelve, named Leroy.
他是个胖胖的，抑郁寡欢的十二岁男孩，名叫勒鲁瓦（Leroy）。
He wore a blue serge suit and a white necktie stained with orange juice.

"Come back here!" he called to Stuart.

Come back here and get on my boat.

"I thank you for your kind offer," replied Stuart, but I am happy aboard the Wasp -- happier than I have ever been before in all my life.
“谢谢你为我提供了这么多的好条件，”斯图亚特回答，但我在黄蜂号上很幸福——比我一生中在别的任何地方都要幸福得多。
And with that he spun the wheel over smartly and headed his schooner down toward the starting line, where Leroy was turning his boat around by poking it with a long stick, ready for the start of the race.
斯图亚特说着，非常熟练地转动着舵轮，把他的纵帆船掉头面向出发点驶去，而勒鲁瓦正在那里用一根长长的小棍子去捅他的船，好让她转到比赛的起点处。
