Question

character sketch of William in Three Men in a Boat

Answer 1

William Samuel Harris is the other of the two friends who join J. on the vacation along the Thames.  J. finds William incredibly boring, lacking all "romance and poetry."  William is a lot like George in that they both like to plan their pubs and eats.  William also loves music, but has a horrible memory so can never remember the words to the comedy songs he loves so much.  There is one significant time on the trip along the Thames that William remains on the boat only to get exceedingly drunk.  William is also the one to propose the toast after they get off of the boat.  (Due to heavy rains, the three decide to take the train instead.)  "Here's to Three Men well out of a Boat!"
