We are leaving the story as our trio relates their last chapter. They have spent their last two days on the river soaking wet, miserable, starved and dejected, although our narrator still finds humor in their situation and it appears Montmorency had a great day at their last landing finding fights with other dogs.  All in all, its a fun story, but one which rambles through some memories as their rickety boat flaots down and sometimes is rowed upriver. 

Coming next: Either action or mystery!  I'm working on it. 

They finally do get the boat into the river as our narrator just sort of daydreams his way along- sharing whatever crosses his mind. All of which is a very rich tapestry of life with some old English history thrown in.

Three men attempt a camping style boat trip on the Thames with their dog as an attempt to get out in the fresh air and live a little.  The story was inspired by an actual diary our author at first attempted, but so many things happened during the outing that the story turned hilarious.  the story will make you chuckle remembering your own camping disasters and remains a classic today.

Dr. Jekyll's butler becomes alarmed at the recent actions of his master, who has been terrifying the staff at his hime, and asks the attorney for help. They enter the home and decide to tear down the locked door to the study.

A maid witness a violet murder outside her window and identifies Mr. Hyde. 

This gothic horror story judged by many to be one of the best ever written, takes place in London when an attorney is made aware of the presence of a man named Hyde who has shown cruelty to a young girl he chanced to run into and tromp over on the street. The attorney slowly realizes that Mr. Hyde has an alternate personality- and one that is committing murders. The story esxplores the duality of human nature and the good and evil all human beings.

The old folk song and marching song "The Yellow Rose of Texas" is a song that, according to at least one researcher,  credits the actions of a very brave young lady who was kidnapped from her hotel in Texas by Santa Anna's forces as they marched toward an expected battle with Sam Houston's forces in the area of San Jacinto. As the legend goes, Texas spies alerted her and asked if she could find a way to delay Santa Anna for a few hours so they could prepare their attack- which she did- helping to gain independence for Texas.  The words "Yellow Rose", were originally taken from a black folk song in deference to the shade of her skin. Some take it as a slur for her mixed race origin- take note- that is not intended here.,  She was a hero to Texas and to many Americans who knew the origins of the song. Her name was Emily D. West.
