Toby Shandy Timeline and Summary
MoreToby Shandy Timeline and Summary
- Toby is wounded in a mysterious but suggestive location.
- He goes to London to recover but just can't stop thinking about the accident.
- He gets it into his head to figure out exactly what happened, and goes to Shandy Hall (where he has a small house) so he can build a scale model.
- One thing leads to another, as it tends to, and Toby finds himself deep into theories about physics, tactics, and fortifications.
- At some point during his stay near Shandy Hall, he takes care of Lieutenant Le Fever and Le Fever's son.
- The war ends. Good for the soldiers, not so good for Toby's hobby-horse.
- Just when he's most susceptible, Widow Wadman tricks him into looking into her eyes. Big mistake. Toby falls hopelessly in love, or at least in lust. (Yes, with her eyes.)
- She blows it when Tristram realizes that all she cares about is finding out if his penis still works.
