1.The narrator says so because the locks break the monotony of
the river excursions. They are
picturesque little spots that not only refresh the ones rowing along the river,
but also give them excuses to rest themselves. While tarrying there one can
often chat with the old lock-keeper, or his cheerful-looking wife, or bright-eyed
daughter. There are other boats and one can exchange river gossip with fellow
sailors or excursionists. The Thames would not be half so beautiful without its
flower-decked locks.
2. Barley Mow would not be a good place for the heroine of a modern novel to stay at because of the low ceilings of the rooms. Since the heroine of a modern novel is always beautifully tall, she would bump her head against the ceiling each time she would walk drawing herself to her full height.
3. The narrator calls the Sandford pool as an ideal place for drowning as the undercurrent here is very strong and there is a very little hope of survival once one gets into it. This is the narrator's other satirical and humorous manner of warning the youngsters to stay away from that dangerous spot.
