The Convert: Deep Waters, Part 5.

W. W. Jacobs

1919

The Convert: Deep Waters, Part 5 is a humorous short story by W. W. Jacobs, first published in 1919. The narrative follows Mr. Billing, who, inspired by his mentor Mr. Purnip, attempts to adopt a non-violent lifestyle in a rough neighborhood. As he faces ridicule and challenges from his peers while trying to embody kindness and pacifism, the story humorously explores themes of personal transformation and societal expectations. Ultimately, Billing learns the importance of balancing kindness with assertiveness in navigating his environment.
