Question

what was the story about Sarah hill in novel, three men in a boat?

Descirbe the 'pride of thames '

Answer 1

1. In the church at War grave, there was a memorial of Mrs. Sarah Hill, who bequeathed 1 pound annually, to be divided at Easter, between four of her children; two boys and two girls. The children were considered to be honest and dutiful and thus the author thought that it was not fair for them to receive only five shillings a year.

2. 'The Pride of Thames' is the boat in which the three men started their journey back home. The author felt that 'The Pride of the Thames' is a roman relic because it was a very old boat. It looked like the fossil of a historical whale or an early Roman coffin. It was an old-wreck. They tried to make it look better by putting some wall papers at the shabbier places.
