Thank You, neuralSurfer; a good... "read". What I InJoyed about this Writer, Somerset Maugham and the story, 'A Man From Glasgow', was the Author's treatment o' "dialogue". In particular, the well illustrated care that the Characters use in Thier speech; Thier respect for the 'psychology' and 'appropriate for the times' social-etiquette that courtesy seems to require when responding to, or not responding verbally to, both Thier Own "inner-dialogue", or that 'nescessary' when speaking to anOther. ("You don' suppose I'm queer do You?" "No more or less than any Other, no.") What I found "timeless" in the story though, was how 'The Man From Glasgow' could somehow 'permit' HimSelf to impose on the chuckling, howlin', roaring with laughter, un-seen Man so. Even to the point of arming HimSelf and burglarising the private domain of the un-seen Man, with clearly murderous intent. Similar to the 'provocation' o' the Shopkeeper with the knife that We were introduced to at the start. 'The Man From Glasgow' HimSelf provides, perhaps, a clue; "By jove!" He says. Things haven't changed much in some People's minds. Some still insist upon initiating levels o' violence without what Aquinas in 'Just Law' calls "warranted", "just" cause. Or, with what "Natural LAW" (and pure logic) refers to as an appropriate response to real or perceived aggression. And..., invariably (ain' that just like Natural LAW; invariable!), the poe bastidges go stark, ravin' mad. 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltucky

Is this read by an AI bot? I love his voice, regardless!
