I like pictures like this one: they tell a story ! for instance...
-The gondoleer sings out loud : "Ohhh Soooole Miooo..." ( he is so much taken by his singing that he does not even realize his oar stayed planted outsidethe picture, in the parterre d'eau of Versailles)
-The Abb sitting in the gondola remains stiff and silent, and looks straight ahead, carefully avoiding to cast any glance into the Lady's cleavage, in order not to be called a depraved and hypocritical priest,and lose his reputation
- The Lady beside him looks down at her feet, and thinks: " OMG, I looked so much forward a romantic gondola tour, and whom am I allocated as a passenger? MY OWN CONFESSOR!!! Argh, Not my lucky day..."
If you have other interpretations of this scene, please let us know:-)
-The Gondoleer dropped his oar a moment ago, and lost control over the gondola, which now turns in circles. During one of these circles, it did hit the floating oar, which dug a hole in it.
- The Lady looks down at the hole in the hull bottom, seeing bubbling water rushing in, and can only utter in a deadly whisper:" Look, we're sinking..."
-The gondoleer begins to sing again: " Closer to Thee, Oh Lord..."
- The Abbe , still standing stiff, but closing his eyes, moves his lips in an inaudible murmur. Everyone thinks he's praying or quoting the Bible, but he's just trying to remember this little booklet he read long ago :"How to swim in ten lessons".
"Unlike my divine Master, I cannot walk on the water," muses the Abb Terray. As formy shipboard dalliances, I believe Madame Savatier would agree that for this occasion at least I was the perfect gentleman.

The lady checks her cleavage wondering why the abb pays no attention "Seems priests do not like us...dont you think sandie and christie..."
I am a pious comtesse!!!
Good, Madame la Comtesse!
Here is another version:
-The Gondoleer dropped his oar a moment ago, and lost control over the gondola, which now turns in circles. During one of these circles, it did hit the floating oar, which dug a hole in it.
- The Lady looks down at the hole in the hull bottom, seeing bubbling water rushing in, and can only utter in a deadly whisper:" Look, we're sinking..."
-The gondoleer begins to sing again: " Closer to Thee, Oh Lord..."
- The Abbe , still standing stiff, but closing his eyes, moves his lips in an inaudible murmur. Everyone thinks he's praying or quoting the Bible, but he's just trying to remember this little booklet he read long ago :"How to swim in ten lessons".
I admit your versions have more style :D and the second one is definitely my favourite!!
"closer to thee, oh lord" :D
