I was a little startled when you likened him to O Henry. Saki's trademark is his satire...I don't know that O Henry falls under the same category.

I'm looking forward to those, and was glad I came across this post of yours.:DSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707280327803432082noreply@blogger.com
