He had what you might call a trivial occupation
Describing the man's job as insignificant or unimportant
He cleaned the platforms of the local railway station
Detailing the man's occupation of cleaning the local railway station platforms
With no romance in his life
Indicating a lack of romance in the man's life
Sometimes he wished he had a wife
Expressing the man's desire for a wife
He read the matrimonial advertising pages
Describing the man reading matrimonial ads
The cries for help from different people, different ages
Referring to pleas for help from various people and age groups
But they had nothing to say
Stating that the ads had nothing meaningful to say
At least not until the day
Highlighting an eventful day when something caught his attention
When something special he read
Describing the man's discovery of a special ad
This is what it said
Transition to the content of the special ad

Encouraging the reader to dream of their ideal girl

The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting
Characterizing Alice's voice as husky and exciting
He was amazed at his luck
Expressing the man's amazement and luck in finding a promising connection
The purest streak of gold he'd struck
Comparing the discovery to finding a valuable streak of gold

Recalling the man's response to Alice and his excitement
I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling
Suggesting the potential for a mutually fulfilling meeting
Why don't we meet for a chat
Proposing a meeting for a chat with all three involved
The three of us in my flat"
