It could also mean that she didn't like it that he spoke curtly, but that had no relevance to how she felt about him otherwise.

I would say that all of them are correct.

I would call him, "The bloke who delivers flyers".

A bloke in the pub told me that when he was in the library, he saw a little girl take out a book called Advice for Young Mothers. “Why do you want a book like that?” he asked her and she replied, “I collect moths”.

I can't think of any, Steven.

I agree, but having said that I would have accepted the explanation if the writer had used inverted commas (quotation marks).
