    Mon Dieu, I can’t get enough of Somerset Maugham’s stories and this truly great narrator! Many thanks!

      The computer voice is very grateful for the compliment. If you want to hear a very (suspiciously) similar actual human voice, check out Simon Stanhope at Bite Sized Audio Classics.

      @@da1681 Exactly. Easy to tell this is AI, and look at the volume of "readings" pumped out on this channel. Several a day. No human could possible narrate that many stories in a day. And I do hope this channel originates in the US because in the UK and many other countries, much of Maugham's work is still under copyright.

    One of Maugham's favorite word in many of his stories: clean-shaven😂

    I had a foreboding when he was fishing earlier…. I guess the prospect of the 600 francs was just too appealing.

    Interesting how the revolutionary cowardly aimed at the lowest link in the chain and a fellow prisoner who merely had a little more power than themselves. Et tu Elroy?!?
