Made to Measure
Deep Waters, Part 3.
Produced by David Widger
"Made to Measure" by W. W. Jacobs is a light-hearted fictional narrative written during the early 20th century. This book unfolds in a quaint little town and tells the story of personal relationships, societal expectations, and the comedic entanglements that ensue when love and misunderstandings occur. The likely topic revolves around the complexities of romantic engagements and the interactions between the characters involved. The plot centers on Mr. Mott, a kindly but somewhat naive uncle, and his niece, Miss Garland, who arrives in town seeking peace after a tumultuous life in London. Shortly after her arrival, her former suitor, Mr. Hurst, unexpectedly shows up, claiming he is still engaged to her. However, Miss Garland professes her disdain for men, declaring her wish to remain free. Hurst's persistent attempts to rekindle their relationship lead to a series of comedic confrontations, especially with Mr. Mott, who finds himself caught between his niece and the bewildered Hurst. The story moves towards a resolution that challenges the notions of love and societal roles, ultimately revealing the humorous side of romantic pursuits. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
