1.I think you are referring to when J was reading about diseases at the museum. In a flashback, J. recollects how he once went to the British Museum to research a treatment for his hay fever, and after reading about diseases, convinced himself that he was suffering. This shows J to be rather neurotic if not a hypochondriac. The book certainly gives the men the impetus to take J's doctor's advice and take a trip in the outdoors.
2.Uncle Podger was unable (or unwilling) to tackle a task alone. He would send everyone off to do his bidding, make a mess of things, and blame it on everyone else. Then it would start all over again, with everyone at his back and call. This would go on for quite awhile, and each time there would be a mistake, and each time someone else would step up to help. In the end, Uncle Podger would cite how easily things were done, and his wife would comment that she'd stay with her mother during the next project..... a comedy of errors.
3.They do not carry cheese , because , when they do , the whole atmosphere becomes pungent with the smell of the cheese , and they feel that everything tastes like cheese because of the strong smell .
4.J. volunteers to pack the clothes, believing himself an exceptionally efficient packer. However, he keeps forgetting items, and then has to unpack in order to fit them in. To the reader, he expounds briefly on his habit of losing his toothbrush when traveling.
Harris and George watch J. pack with great amusement, and volunteer to pack the food when J. finally finishes. They are no better at it – they constantly forget items, and Harris steps in the butter. Throughout it all, they keep tripping over Montmorency.
5. Rain can play spoil sport because it interferes with where you land, soaks the tent and makes it heavy, makes it impossible to light a fire, ruins the food, and dampens the tobacco, so you cannot smoke.
6.J says that overpacking the boat.... like overloading our daily lives takes away the simple pleasures. He says that to truly enjoy life, we must cast away the unnecessary in order to enjoy the things we've been blessed with..... family, friends, music, and freedom.
It is lumber, man—all lumber! Throw it overboard. It makes the boat so heavy to pull, you nearly faint at the oars. It makes it so cumbersome and dangerous to manage, you never know a moment’s freedom from anxiety and care, never gain a moment’s rest for dreamy laziness—no time to watch the windy shadows skimming lightly o’er the shallows, or the glittering sunbeams flitting in and out among the ripples, or the great trees by the margin looking down at their own image, or the woods all green and golden, or the lilies white and yellow, or the sombre-waving rushes, or the sedges, or the orchis, or the blue forget-me-nots.
Throw the lumber over, man! Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need—a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.
7.The shopkeeper’s house which was also his shop was special because it was made of carved oak from inside. The floor to the ceiling was covered with carved oak. The house had a magnificent carved oak staircase. The shopkeeper took the narrator’s friend through the shop and then into the house. They went up the stairs, the balusters were a superb piece of workmanship, and the wall all the way up was oak-panelled, with carving that would have done credit to a palace. From the stairs, they went into the drawing-room, which was a large, bright room, decorated with a somewhat startling though cheerful paper of a blue ground.
The shop keeper had changed the interior slightly; he had covered the oak with blue wall paper. He did so that the room could look cheerful. Since the room was quite gloomy before.
Carved oak is very pleasant to look at, and to have a little of, but it is no doubt somewhat depressing to live in, for those who do not fancy it that way. It would be like living in a church.
