| Summary | "Manners Makyth Man" by W. W. Jacobs is a comedic short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative is centered on the everyday life of a night-watchman dealing with a series of humorous and somewhat chaotic events related to a young boy who runs away to sea. The book explores themes of identity and social customs, highlighting the contrasts between pretension and authenticity. In the story, the night-watchman, who finds himself reflecting on his job, encounters a young boy who deceives him into believing he has run away from home to escape mistreatment. As the watchman tries to help the boy and communicate with his supposed father, he realizes he has been tricked twice: first by the boy and then by his attractive sister. The situation escalates when the boy's sister prompts him to search for her brother, who has gone to borrow money for a voyage. The climax occurs when the sister, who is ultimately saved, reveals her true identity as she playfully introduces herself to the watchman. This delightful confusion leads to introspective humor about social status and relationships, ultimately leaving the watchman with a mix of irritation and amusement.
