About this book
George Meredith left this comic piece unfinished. Its narrator crosses Ickleworth Bridge on a hot summer day and finds the absent-minded vicar waist-deep in the river with his wife standing in the water nearby, both fully dressed, trading polite "my dears" while the vicar recites Greek verse. The narrator watches from behind a willow and treats the scene as a lesson in enjoying comedy without spending it too fast. The title names a gentleman of fifty and a damsel of nineteen.
