Clever story about knowing the difference between what is real and what is fake and more importantly when to reveal it.

Dear neuralsurfer. Since I discovered these short stories, a couple of weeks ago, I started a new routine of listening to at least one short story every day after work, and on weekends I do a marathon! I hadn’t read Somerset Maugham since my teens, about 45 years ago, and now that I am somewhat more mature and have a better understanding of human nature, I enjoy them immensely thanks to you! Can’t thank you enough!

Neural Surfer, thank you so much for these short stories. What insight into a past era. I am so thrilled with them, and as I am a writer who has been editing the work of other people for too long, I am invigorated by them. I will start writing my own short stories now, borrowing Maugham's slice of life approach. I love how he describes characters, which is something I enjoy doing. He is uninhibited yet controlled at the same time. A master.

I loved the story. What a real gentleman was that Mr. Know all. I am reminded of a doctor who found that a widowed woman from a conservative family was pregnant In India it would have ruined the poor woman's life. The doctor said she has a tumor in the abdomen which needed surgery and quietly removed the 3 week old embryo after fixing a day. So such incidents are not totally imaginary

The wife had told her husband that her pearls were imitation pearls. The husband has a “poorly-paid job in the American Consulate.” Mr. Colada, seeing the wife’s pearls, bets the husband that they are real.… As he examines the pearls, Mr. Colada, who is a pearl specialist, sees that they are, indeed, real. …He is just about to announce his triumph when he sees the terrified & begging look on the wife’s face, as she looks at him…He then swallows his pride, and pronounces them “frauds”….(The inference is that the pearls were a gift to the wife from a lover-that was the reason for her frightened look)…. Mr. C showed himself to be honorable by keeping her secret.…The wife was honorable for returning the 100£ note to Mr. C (and Mr. C ends by making a joke about the “foolishness” of leaving such a pretty, young wife all alone for a year-as her husband had done)….

Mr. Kalata claimed to be a true born Englishman. However, to be a true Englishman one must prove it, not with a passport but with conduct that is "cricket." Like a true Englishman, he had a code he lived by. In that code it was better to be known as a know-it-all and take any personal disparagements onto his own shoulders, than to be a gossip which would put disparagement onto other people. As a pearl merchant, he was quite right about the value and cost of the pearl necklace. Evidently Mrs. Ramsey had had an affair in New York while her obese husband was away for a year in Kobe, England. The real pearl necklace was a gift from her lover, but she told her husband that she bought them from a department store for $18.00. Mr. Kalata was about to prove himself to be right about the necklace, when he saw the distress on Mrs. Ramsey's face. A true English gentleman puts the happiness of a woman above his own ego about being right. Therefore, he decided to cover her indiscretion by "losing" the bet. In gratitude, Mrs. Ramsey returned the L100 note in an envelope she was careful to address in block capitals to prevent her handwriting from ever being identified. However, Mr. Kalata tore the envelop into small bits and had the pieces thrown out of the portal and into the sea. Proving that he was a true English gentleman.

Please don’t consider yourself dumb just because you “don’t get it”. I believe the story was written to show that even arrogant, unlikeable people can be kind given the right circumstances. We begin heartily disliking the fellow, but immediately change when he recognizes the young lady’s predicament and willingly suffers humiliation from the other passengers in order to protect her secret. Out of gratitude, she returns his money. What I find interesting is that she knew his first name.
