Summary

In this funny short story from British humorist Jerome K. Jerome, the formidable Mrs. Korner contemplates gender roles, and her henpecked husband tries to live up to her expectations. Though originally published in 1904, Jerome's canny take on the war between the sexes still rings true today.
