What is the moral of three men in boat?

Answer 1

Stay at Oxford

They have a pleasant stay of two days at Oxford. Montmorency has eleven fights on the first day and fourteen on the second. He thinks he has got to heaven.

The hired-up boats and 'The Pride of the Thames'

The boats that one get at Oxford are complete with necessary arrangements and are devoid of any ornamentation. The man in the hired-up boat is modest. He likes to keep under the trees and do the sailing early morning or during the nights.

The boat that they had written for was a double skulling skiff. They are offered 'The Pride of the Thames' which did not even look like a boat. They pay thirty five shillings on a loan of six days.

The change in the weather

It starts raining heavily on the third day. The river which was formerly beautiful under the sunlight now grew chilly and weary. Everything in the boat is damp. Even dinner eludes them. They play cards after the supper but that too isn't a very enjoyable activity. George plays his instrument and starts with "two Lovely Black Eyes." The three get mournful and the dog howls.

The second day too is exactly the same. George does not consider it to be wise to stay back in the boat and offers to board a train from Pangbourne.

The last supper

They enjoy the supper at the restaurant as it is different from having cold meat, cake, and bread and jam that they were having for the last ten days. They sit back, stretch their legs and feel good and relaxed. Harris exclaims, stretching his hand out for his glass, "we have had a pleasant trip, and my hearty thanks to old Father Thames -- but I think we did well to chuck it when we did. Here's to Three Men well out of a Boat!" To this, Montmorency gives a 'concurrence to the toast' by giving a short bark.
