Observations of Henry

Collection of humorous stories, the framing being that they are told by a waiter named Henry.

Generally good, but with the last, "e;The Wooing of Tom Sleight's Wife"e;, is the best.

It's a terrific tale in which a sailor, parted from the girl he'd secretly married in Maine, many years later falls in love with a barmaid in Paris -- one who happens to be exactly the same person. (Goodreads)
