In Three Men in a Boat by Jerome, what happens to Harris when he goes inside the maze?

He couldn’t get out of the Hampton Court maze. Harris tells this rather amusing story to J. in Chapter VI. The maze was set up around the year 1700, and it is still the oldest hedge maze in the United Kingdom. Harris says he got a map of it and thought it would be easy enough to walk through. But when he led “a country cousin” into it, they couldn’t find their way back out. They kept walking and kept finding other people who were stuck, too. The group eventually yelled for help to the keeper of the maze. He got a ladder to straddle the hedge and to climb in to reach them. But he was young and new to the job, and he got lost in the maze, too. They all had to wait for an older keeper to come back from his dinner break to get everyone out. Still, Harris and J. think they ought to send George into the maze when they pass Hampton Court on their way back.
