Description
"Peter Hope was tall and thin, clean-shaven but for a pair of side whiskers close-cropped and terminating just below the ear, with hair of the kind referred to by sympathetic barbers as 'getting a little thin on the top, sir, ' but arranged with economy, that everywhere is poverty's true helpmate. About Mr. Peter Hope's linen, which was white though somewhat frayed, there was a self-assertiveness that invariably arrested the attention of even the most casual observer. Decidedly there was too much of it-its ostentation aided and abetted by the retiring nature of the cut-away coat, whose chief aim clearly was to slip off and disappear behind its owner's back." "Tommy and Co." (1904), the amusing and sometimes bittersweet adventures of a crew of Fleet Street journalists, is a humorous classic by Jerome K. Jerome, whose comic masterpiece "Three Men in a Boat" established him as a leading English humorist.
