2. Chapter - 11
The chapter begins with
George telling J. a story
about how he forgot to wind
his watch before bed and
ended up waking up at 3 in
the morning.
This aroused the suspicion of
the police constables who
found him walking around
London in the wee hours of
the morning.
3. J., George and Harris went for a morning swim and
later Harris, who had no idea how to make srambled
eggs, tried his hand at it and failed miserably.
They later arrive at Magna Carta island and J. mused
about being a peasant at the time when King John
signed the Magna Carta.
4. Chapter - 12
In Chapter 12, the men
passed through Picnic Point
where King Henry was
known to have courted Anne
Boleyn.
J. spoke about the
predicament of the locals
who must have had a hard
time giving privacy to the
couple.
He later added that it is
indeed awkward walking in
on couples who were
“spooning”.
5. They passed through the place where Earl Godwin
was known to have choked after being accused of
Edward the confessor’s brother’s murder.
They finally came across a boy who offered them a
place to stay in and they were grateful for it.
After having forgotten the mustard at home, the
trio settled for a can for pineapple to eat with lunch.
They soon gave up after unsuccessfully trying to
open the can.
They passed by three old men fishing who cursed
them because Harris’ poor steering disturbs the
water.
The friends decided to stay at an inn in Marlow that
night.
6. Chapter - 13
In this chapter, the trio passed
through Marlow, Bisham Alley
and Medemenham where they
came across an abbey where
an order of prodigious monks
once lived.
During lunch, Montmorency got
intimidated by a cat and its
menacing stare.
They stocked up on food in
Marlow but they found it
difficult to leave due to the
large number of steam-
launches in the water.
7. Faced with a water shortage, the trio pondered
about drinking the river water.
They eventually ended up drinking some water
from a nearby cottage which they thought was from
the river as well. The day ended comically with
Harris falling off the edge of a gulch and J and
George thinking he was dead.
8. Chapter - 14
In this chapter, the men make
Irish strew but they ended up
over-peeling the potatoes.
Montmorency caught a water
rat which he thought could be
added to the stew but the men
declined.
The stew turned out to be
delicious.
Startled by the tea-kettle,
Montmorency attacked it.
George’s dismal banjo playing
was accompanied by
Montmorency’s howling.
9. This prompted the others to request him to never
play again.
It was mentioned that George was forced to have
sold his banjo due to complaints from his landlady
and the passersby.
After a night out, George and J. forgot where the
boat was docked.
Eventually they followed Montmorency’s barks and
found the boat.
Harris narrated an incident where he single-
handedly fought of a swarm of aggressive swans
whose nest they disturbed.
