Additional quotes by Jerome K. Jerome
I dreamed once that I was going to be hanged; but I was not at all surprised about it. Nobody was. My relations came to see me off, I thought, and to wish me "Good-by!"

Everybody appeared to regard the coming tragedy as one of the most-naturally-to-be-expected things in the world.
