asked Joan.

The girl shrugged her shoulders.  “Who was there for me to marry?” she answered.  “The men who wanted me: clerks, young tradesmen, down at home—I wasn’t taking any of that lot.  And the men I might have fancied were all of them too poor.  There was one student.  He’s got on since.  Easy enough for him to talk about waiting.  Meanwhile.  Well, it’s like somebody suggesting dinner to you the day after to-morrow.  All right enough, if you’re not troubled with an appetite.”

The waiter came to clear the table.  They were almost the last customers left.  The man’s tone and manner jarred upon Joan.  She had not noticed it before.  Joan ordered coffee and the girl, exchanging a joke with the waiter, added a liqueur.

I was completely surprised by this book. It was nothing like I expected from beginning to end. In a good way.
I've just recently discovered Jerome K. Jerome and his humor. And even though I had been warned that this book was different, it still surprised me.
I loved the insightfulness so often missing

Very unlike, this, to his most other works, or at least the more famous or most read ones, where serious thought is of short visits if not fleeting or even elusive, this one makes one wonder after a chapter or two if Jerome K. Jerome challenged himself to compete with the serious authors of the day

but I simply really like him when he is serious.
