Joseph Andrews Book 1, Chapter 2 Summary

  • Little Joey Andrews got a pretty nice job chasing the birds away for the great Sir Thomas Booby.
  • Unfortunately, Joey's voice was so sweet that the birds flocked right to him.
  • When our boy Joey gets to be about seventeen, Sir Thomas's wife starts noticing him.
  • Lady Booby gets Joey to run errands and generally hang around her at all times. This isn't sketchy at all…
  • Luckily, Parson Abraham Adams wants to help Joey out. He takes him under his wing and starts educating him about religion.
