Easy Money [night Watches, Part 9.]

Easy Money [night Watches, Part 9.]

W. W. Jacobs

British Literature, Humour, Romance, Short Stories

Sam's nephew has gone and fallen head over heels for a girl at the wharf named Miss Gill, and he wants everyone to know his feelings are the genuine article. His older companions on the night watch are having none of it. These cynical old bachelors have seen enough of love to know better, and they make no secret of their view that the young man's heart is heading for a bruising. What follows is a spectacularly ill-fated outing with Miss Gill, complete with misunderstandings, awkward confrontations, and the kind of youthful optimism that no amount of world-weary groaning can deflate. W. W. Jacobs, master of British working-class humor, serves up a charming battle between romantic innocence and hard-bitten experience. The joke, as always, lands on the side you least expect.
