The Lady of the Barge and Others is a collection of humorous short stories by W. W. Jacobs, first published in 1902. Set in late 19th-century England, the stories explore themes of human folly, social interactions, and the quirks of everyday life, often featuring characters from river life. The title story introduces Captain Gibbs and his mate Ted, whose interactions with unexpected visitors lead to comedic misunderstandings. This collection is notable for its portrayal of English social customs and remains a significant work in the canon of humorous literature.

“He broke off and eyed with dignified surprise a fine piece of wireless telegraphy between husband and wife. It appeared that Mr. Negget sent off a humorous message with his left eye, the right being for some reason closed, to which Mrs. Negget replied with a series of frowns and staccato shakes of the head, which her husband found easily translatable. Under the austere stare of Mr. Bodfish their faces at once regained their wonted calm, and the ex-constable in a somewhat offended manner resumed his inquiries.””
— W. W. Jacobs
