Easy money [Night watches, Part 9.]
Produced by David Widger
"Easy Money" by W. W. Jacobs is a short story that falls under the category of humorous fiction, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores themes of love, youthful folly, and the complexities of relationships as it centers around a group of friends and the romantic entanglements that ensue. The setting and language reflect the casual and colloquial style typical of the author's time. The story follows a young man, referred to as Sam's nevy, who has fallen in love with a girl named Miss Gill. Despite his companions' cynical views on love and marriage, the young man insists that his feelings are genuine and distinct. As he navigates the ups and downs of budding romance, including a disastrous outing with Miss Gill and misunderstandings that lead to an unexpected confrontation, the tale humorously contrasts youthful optimism with the more jaded perspectives of his older friends. Ultimately, it examines the often comical challenges of young love, underscoring the complexities of attraction, social expectations, and the consequences of impulsive decisions.
