Test: Chapter - 10, Three Men in a Boat - Class 9 MCQ

In the beginning of the story, Jim and Harris made George work and he towed them till Runnymede.

The narrator described how he got into a mess when he dealt with tow-lines himself and found them strange.

The girls got the line round their legs and had to sit down on the path to undo each other. They also twisted it round their necks and were nearly strangled.

The girl thought that they had lost their way and began to cry when they rowed past the bridge without looking at the lock.

The group originally intended to camp at Magna Charta Island, but somehow they did not like to look at the scenery and wanted to have their supper and go to bed.

The sound of the lapping water round the boat and the wind among the branches kept the narrator restless and disturbed, so he put on whatever clothes he could and crept under the canvas on to the bank.

The night was full of comfort and strength for the narrator. The moon had sunk and left the quiet earth alone with the stars. Night, like some great loving mother, gently laid her hand upon their fevensh heads and removed their pain.

George suggested that they pitch the tent before eating supper, as it would be an easy task and they would be able to enjoy their meal and rest afterwards.

After having supper, the three friends felt contented and loving towards each other. They wondered why they couldn't be always happy and generous like that and remain away from sins and temptations.

After supper, George related a story about his father travelling through Wales with another fellow and spending the evening with them at a little inn.
