What was fleet in silas marner novel?

The term "fleet" isn't specifically used in George Eliot's novel "Silas Marner" to describe any specific object or concept. It's possible you're thinking of a different word or phrase, or perhaps a misremembered detail.

To help me understand your question better, could you please clarify:

* What do you think "fleet" refers to in the context of the novel?

* What scene or event are you thinking of?

By providing more context, I can give you a more accurate and helpful response.
