Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome

Oxford -- Montmorency's idea of Heaven -- The hired upriver boat, its beauties and advantages -- The Pride of the Thames -- The weather changes -- The river under different aspects -- Not a cheerful evening -- Yearnings for the unattainable -- The cheery chat goes round -- George performs upon the banjo -- A mournful melody -- Another wet day -- Flight -- A little supper and a toast.

We spent two very pleasant days at Oxford. There are plenty of dogs in the town of Oxford. Montmorency had eleven fights on the first day, and fourteen on the second, and evidently thought he had got to heaven.
