Question

then he turned his back on me, and went on talking to his wife; and i knew what that meant, too. i was not the kind of morsel he was after. the typhoid had served me well enough in one way: it kept that kind of gentleman at arm’s - length. what does the narrator mean when she refers to mr. brympton as \that kind of gentleman\? she thinks mr. brympton is too critical. she believes mr. brympton to be impatient.

Explanation:

The narrator implies Mr. Brympton is a shallow - minded person who is only interested in certain types of people, and her typhoid - affected state has made her unappealing to him. There is no indication in the text that he is too critical or impatient. He seems to be someone who makes judgments based on appearance or desirability.

Answer:

Neither of the provided options is correct based on the text.
