David Widger "The Lady of the Barge and Others, Entire Collection" by W. W. Jacobs is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. The stories explore the themes of human folly, social interactions, and the quirks of everyday life, often with a humorous twist. The opening story, "The Lady of the Barge," introduces various characters, including a barge skipper named Captain Gibbs and his mate Ted, focusing on their interactions and unexpected visitors. At the start of "The Lady of the Barge," we encounter Captain Gibbs, who is wrapping up a conversation with the mate of a nearby schooner while wondering about his own brother-in-law, Ted. As night falls, Ted arrives with a surprise: a young woman named Lucy, who is introduced with eager excitement by Ted. The skipper's reluctance to have passengers on his barge, exacerbated by the mates' teasing and a brewing sense of jealousy over Lucy’s attention towards Captain Gibbs, sets the scene for humorous misunderstandings and potential conflicts as the group embarks on a new and unconventional journey.
