The fact that he's smoking a cigarette in this time period is notable and places him early in the cultural transition. Cigarettes were a thing in late nineteenth century England, but pipe-smoking was still the respectable norm. The protagonist is a working man and hasn't the time to leisurely sit in slippers by the fireplace. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
