Two incidents were encountered by each character of the novel "Three Men in a Boat." What were they? Please help me with this question, please!

Each of the characters has at least two stories associated with them. Each story reveals or confirms key personality traits of the character.

J., the narrator -- In Chapter I, it’s his tale of going to the British Museum, looking up all of diseases in the medical book, and realizing that he has symptoms for all but one of them. This story shows his sensitive nature and possible hypochondria, in addition to his huge sense of humor. In Chapter IV, we hear about the time he helped a friend out by personally transporting some smelly cheese from one place to another. This one shows his politeness and commitment to friendship, and again, his sense of humor.

George – In Chapter XI, George retells a time when his watch once stopped, and he found himself on the street on his way to work at 3 a.m. when he thought it was 9 a.m. George is dedicated, but he doesn’t always pay attention to what’s going on around him. He’s not always good at problem solving, either. In Chapter XIV, we hear about his failing attempts to learn how to play the banjo. Again, he’s dedicated, but is not always successful.

Harris – In Chapter VI, Harris tells the story of the time he got lost in the Hampton Court maze. As usual, he thought he was prepared, and he thought he knew what he was doing – enough to even offer confident help to others in the same situation. But he turned out not to know after all, and he had to be “saved” by someone else. In Chapter XI, Harris attempts to cook scrambled eggs for the group for breakfast. This endeavor does not end well. Again, he thinks he knows what he’s doing, and he obviously doesn’t.

Montmorency – In Chapter II, J. explains Montmorency’s origins, and the fact that he looks like an innocent dog, but that he has a nasty history of fighting behind him. (Since J. is the one telling this story, we’re not sure if we should believe him, since he often exaggerates for effect.) In Chapter XIII, however, Montmorency runs after but is stared down by a street-savvy cat. The dog isn’t as tough as he – or J. -- thinks he is.
