mr know all different perspective

I was prepared to be disliked by others on the ship because of my appearance and the fact I'm not a "perfect English man"..

I went on board and started to unpack my suitcases when I noticed the man I would share a cabin with. He seemed a bit upset that I had got there first. The  few days that went on ship were quite good and I tried to communicate with him and tried to develop a conversation. One evening we went to a dinner with a few people we had met on board. The conversation drifted to the subject of pearls, which of course I knew about very well. I noticed with a keen eye that the woman who was sitting next to me had a real pearls necklace. So, I said it out loud when her husband immediately said that the necklace was fake and those were cultured pearls. With a big smile he also mentioned that his wife had bought it only for 18$. We bet on a 100$ if its fake or not when I noticed she turned pale and anxious. I realized that the conversation made her feel uncomfortable because she had probably lied to her husband. I said that I was mistaken out loud and gave her husband a 100$ note. I knew I did a good deed when the morning after I received a letter with the 100$. A smile appeared on my lips.
