Sorting out the answers:

• The passage is taken from the book "Three Men in the Boat".
• Three people are in the process of packing their luggage for a trip and the entire episode turns out to be comical.
• Based in the passage we have to answer the questions:

1. The above lines are uttered by Jerome K. Jerome, who is the author here.
2. The 'whole matter' is the matter of packing the bags.
