Yup. And I appreciate the Maugham-sounding British pronunciation of the narrator.
This is one of my very favorites! Thank you!!
Thank you 🙏

Thank you.

Great story ❤
Forestier would be hard pressed to disguise his lack of schooling - all "Gentlemen" having been sent to Prep Schools and then University.
Does anyone know the composer of the music. Please.

He was a nasty man all his life. His lie at the end did not make him the better man.
I love the Tourette's outbreaks...
