George was looked upon as criminal
The police suspected George of being criminal or drunk because of his bizarre behavior. Due to the malfunctioning of his watch which had stopped at quarter to eight, George thought it was quarter to eight for the next morning. So he got dressed up and went out to office. He was surprised to find no soul moving; every shop shut. Perplexed he asked a constable what time it was, and then the clock tower struck three. The police advised him to go back and rest till morning.
And George went home again, musing as he walked along, and let himself in. At first, when he got in, he determined to undress and go to bed again; but when he thought of the redressing and re-washing, and the having of another bath, he determined he would not, but would sit up and go to sleep in the easy-chair.
But he could not get to sleep: he never felt more wakeful in his life; so he lit the lamp and got out the chess-board, and played himself a game of chess. But even that did not enliven him: it seemed slow somehow; so he gave chess up and tried to read. He did not seem able to take any sort of interest in reading either, so he put on his coat again and went out for a walk.
It was horribly lonesome and dismal, and all the policemen he met regarded him with u suspicion, and turned their lanterns on him and followed him about, and this scared him and decided to stay indoors.
George’s Shirt Falling Into the River
George had assumed that the shirt that had fallen into the river belonged to Jim; so he began laughing loudly. However, when Jim took the shirt in his hand he realized, the shirt actually belonged to George. So, he let it flow along in the river water and began laughing. George, still laughing asked Jim why he had let the shirt flow in the river. Jim, now laughing very loudly replied that the shirt was not his, but rather of George's. This changed George's laughter into anger.
Pine –Apple Can Scene
The pineapple incident happened on the Monkey Island. As they readied themselves for lunch, they found they had forgotten to bring mustard. However, George fished out a pineapple tin from a hamper, which made the three friends quite happy. They faced another problem as they realized they had no tin opener with them. They thought they might be having a tin opener; so they ransacked all their hampers, bags, etc.; they could not find the tin opener either. Then Harris tried to open the tin with his pocket knife unsuccessfully, injuring himself. Then George tried to open it using a pair of scissors, almost injuring his eye. The narrator also tried to open the tin using a sharp tool; but the tool slipped and the can fell between the boat and the bank into two feet of muddy water, and the tin rolled over, uninjured, and broke a teacup. Thus each friend tries to open the tin using all the improvisations they could think of, but to no avail. Finally they had to throw the tin into the river.
Montmorency and Male Cat Scene
One day the narrator and his dog, Montmorency were returning from a dip, and half-way up the High Street a cat darted out from one of the houses in front of them, and began to trot across the road. Montmorency gave a cry of joy the cry of a stern warrior and flew after his prey.
His victim was a large Tom cat. It had lost half its tail, one of its ears, and a fairly appreciable proportion of its nose.
Montmorency went for that poor cat at lightning speed; but the cat did not hurry and did not seem to have grasped the idea that its life was in danger. It trotted quietly on until its would-be killer was within a yard of it, and then it turned round and sat down in the middle of the road, and looked at Montmorency with a gentle, inquiring, and defiant expression. The angry expression in the cat’s eye scared Montmorency. He stopped abruptly, and looked back at Tom. Then the cat rose, and continued his trot; and Montmorency, fitting his tail carefully in between his legs, came back to us, and took up an unimportant position behind the narrator.
