That's great; thank you.
That translation would be about right. Jerome K. Jerome is playing about with his readers again:
An English shop keeper got a bit heated (when the Three were pretending to be German tourists using a German-English phrase book) ... and "What we wanted was some English equivalent for the well-known German idiom: Behalten Sie Ihr Haar auf."
