One of W. W. Jacobs' most unforgettable characters is the cantankerous nightwatchmen on the wharf in London who spends his spare time reminiscing about past capers and misadventures. In this tale, he muses about the nature of gratitude and recounts some of the good deeds for which he's never been repaid.
