Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog

"e;I had the general symptoms, the chief among them being a disinclination to work of any kind."e;So begin the hilarious misadventures of a merry, but scandalously lazy band of well-to-do young men-and a plucky and rather world-weary fox terrier named Montmorency-on an idyllic cruise along the River Thames.

Feeling seedy, muses one of them dreamily, "e;What we want is rest."e; What they find instead is one hapless catastrophe after another.

Soggy weather, humiliating dunkings, the irritating behavior of small boats and the "e;contrariness of teakettles"e; are just a few of the barbarisms our genteel heroes are forced to endure.
