Good Intentions by W. W. Jacobs
"Good Intentions" by W. W. Jacobs is a humorous short story written in the early 20th century. It is a comedic narrative that explores themes of jealousy, infidelity, and the complexities of romantic relationships. The story is set against the backdrop of a wharf, where the protagonist, the night-watchman, finds himself embroiled in the romantic entanglements of Captain Tarbell and the women in his life. The plot revolves around Captain Tarbell, who
is caught in a love triangle with two women, Mrs. Plimmer and Laura Lamb. The night-watchman becomes an unintended accomplice as he tries to juggle the demands of both women while managing the chaos that ensues. His efforts to keep the captain's secret leads to a series of humorous mishaps, culminating in an unexpected confrontation that threatens to expose everyone's intentions. As he attempts to maintain order and prevent disaster, the story culminates in a chaotic but ultimately comedic ending that highlights the absurdity of jealousy and the lengths to which people will go for love.
