About this book
Two kinds of clock, according to Jerome K. Jerome, trouble a household: the one that is always wrong and glories in it, and the one that keeps perfect time for weeks and then fails on the day you must catch a train. He recalls a clock of the second kind in his boyhood home that got the family up at three on a winter morning.
This short humorous essay goes on to the harmless always-wrong clocks, wound from a sense of duty, and weighs running two miles to a station three-quarters of an hour early against strolling up in time to see the train leave.
