Briefly explain the scenic beauty of Kingston from the novel three men in a boat .
Answers
As they
rowed through it by the boat, they were dumstruck by its beauty. They found its quaint back streets, coming down to the water’s
edge, looking quite picturesque in the sunlight. The sparkling river with its
drifting barges, the wooded towpath, the nicely kept villas on the other side,
the distant view of the grey old palace of the Tudors, all together made a very beautiful picture as if full of imagination.
Kingston was so serene that its tranquility had an intoxicating effect on Jim.It was a calm place but so full of life.
The narrator of the story then remembered that Kingston was a royal borough once,
and nobles and courtiers lived there, near their King. So, it was obvious that the architectural
features of the houses and buildings breathed of the days of the glorious past days.
