The narrator and his friends attended a highly cultured and fashionable party at Kempton Park. They wore their best clothes and conversed well in a pleasing manner with everyone present there. There were two German students in the party who felt uncomfortable in the party. They all enjoyed a good supper. After that , Harris sang a funny song and, thereafter, there was a recitation of a French poem by a guest. They played morceaux and discussed ethics and philosophy in a dignified way. Then, there was a Spanish ballad by a lady which made them all weep. In the party, there was an unhappy German professor. Then, the party ended after the departure of two young men who had made a fool of themselves.

George was one of the leading characters of the novel. He was a good friend of Jerome (narrator). He was a bank clerk who worked on Saturdays also. He was functional in organizing the river trip. He was considered lazy by his friends. He is ready to rest any time, anywhere. He always felt sick and unwell. He only felt refreshing after a drink. During the trip, he thought that he was the most hardworking fellow. He is in the habit of snoring. He is a good cook and a perfectionist before his friends. He always emphasizes on being neat and tidy. He is practical and knowledgeable. He loves order and discipline in life. At times, he picked a hobby like playing banjo.

The people were interested to see the tiny creatures found in the fields because the place where he had drifted, was inhabited by huge people. Compared to them, Gulliver looked very small. Fascinated on seeing him, a farmer planned to show Gulliver to the villagers in the market to gain money. He forced Gulliver to do small tricks to attract and entertain people to earn money. Out of their curiosity to see the tiny creature (Gulliver), people came just to see him and look at his tricks The farmer also took him to different cities to earn money.

Like all Lilliputians, the emperor is less than six inches tall. His power and majesty impresses Gulliver deeply but to us he appears both laughable and sinister. Because of his tiny size, his believe that he can control Gulliver, seems silly. But his willingness to execute his subjects for minor reasons of politics or honour gives him a frightening aspect. He is proud of possessing the tallest trees and biggest palace in the kingdom. He is also quite hospitable, spending a fortune on his captive's food. The emperor is both a satire of the autocratic ruler and a strangely serious portrait of political power. The king of Brobdingnag, in contrast to the emperor of Lilliput, is the emperor of the land of giants. He seems to be a true intellectual, well-versed in political science among other disciplines. While his wife has an intimate, friendly relationship with the diminutive visitor, the king's relation to Gulliver is limited to serious discussions about the history and institution of Gulliver's native land.
