No husband is ever at the club
There were a lot of men's clubs in London a few years ago. Men went there and read their newspaper quietly, or drank or had meals with their friends.
All of these man's club had a lot of very good servant. At every club one of the servant is a doorman. Mr Grace was the doorman of one of these clubs. He was fifty-five years old, and he had grey hair and a big grey moustache. The telephone rang in his office at six o'clock in the evening, and a woman spoke to him. She said, "Are you the doorman of the George Club?"
"Yes, I am". Mr Grace answered.
"Please give my husband a message," the woman said.
"Your husband isn't at the club this evening". Mr Grace answered
"But I haven't told you his name!" the woman said angrily.
"That isn't necessary," Mr Grace answered. "No husband is ever at the club".
Does the last sentence of the doorman mean the woman's husband went to the club and didn't say he had got married?

No. It means that the doorman always gave the same response when asked to communicate with someone's husband. Men did not want to hear from their wives when they were at the club, and so the doorman always said that the husband a wife wanted to communicate with was not at the club.
