This is definitely one of the best channel’s on UA-cam and I adore UA-cam (hence over subscribing 😬) so that really is a huge compliment! You are a born entertainer and your Aussie accent is very good but I’m not an expert like with Ireland or America, but you can tell when it’s not quite right. Great job and well chosen as per!🙏🪬✨
I not a prude by any sense of the imagination but it is refreshing to listen to a storyline that avoids gratuitous violence, language or sex while still being thoroughly entertaining.
I agree, Hollywood has become so pornographic I have to fast forward to the content. I guess it's an answer to ALOT of people's prayer's. For me it leaves nothing to the imagination and that's the best part of entertainment. The escape to a place and time!
I find myself agreeing! Does this mean I am getting old I wonder?! But actually I have always felt this way even though I do like movies with ghosts I just don’t get it how Hollywood, (just off the coast of planet Earth 🌍😉🙃) has come to the conclusion that as soon as someone dies or leave’s the restriction of the human body, they suddenly become evil and dangerous! I find a ghost story with a more original plot so much more interesting! Sorry I have gone off topic slightly but it’s one of the reasons why I prefer older ghost stories and who doesn’t love a mystery and this author’s style of writing really appeals to me and I could listen forever! Blessings 🙏
I love this story. it's surprisingly unique within it's own way of presentation. Everytime I think I got It! I'll go back and listen and be hit with a vividly missed clarification that brings the uniqueness of the story to a whole nother level of Interesting!
It's always such a joy when you share your beautiful narrations with us, dearest Simon. I shall never grow weary of that golden voice you have been gifted with. Thank you ever so much! ❤
Thank you so much, Simon. A new story for my evening breather. I really need it right now. My brother lost his only child from a heart attack at 51. I was delighted to see this.
Listening to these stories is like a pressure release valve for me, I can feel the tension leave my body as I sit back and let you work your magic! Ty ❤
Wonderful, thanks Maria. I encountered a couple of Carrados stories in detective anthologies over the years, but they always seemed to include the same stories (most often The Tragedy at Brookbend Cottage); it's been a delight to delve into the series and discover some of the less well known ones
This was a great story- but your portrayal of the numerous characters was truly amazing Simon! You can do SO many & SO very well! I have heard you do 2 or 3 but wow that was well over half a dozen & each 1 is fantastic. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤷♀️✌️
Thanks, Simon. I'm very late to the party. I'm currently back in the boonies where internet is still a mess. However, on this rare day of respite I bought your audible books (all three I could find) and downloaded this story. A bright spot in a life consumed by having a loved on in hospice at home. You are among the blessings I count. Thank you, most sincerely.
Lovely to hear from you Tammy. Sending you best wishes in challenging times, I'm glad if these stories can provide you with some respite. Thank you so much for letting me know about your Audible purchases, that's hugely appreciated. Oddly enough I had a new book go live on Audible just today, I don't know if that's one of the three you found - a collection of detective stories. I'll post a link on the community tab when I get a moment
Yay! I have to listen when I'm not too tired, because your relaxing voice sometimes causes me to drift off. It's funny, a couple of times I have started dreaming with my earbuds still in my ears. I am walking around and doing things in my dreams, and I'm wondering where this voice is coming from. Oh, it's the TV. I turn the TV off, but I still hear the voice. It must be the radio, I find a radio and turn it off. Still hear the voice. Then I realize I'm wearing a headset. I take the headset off, still hear the voice!!! I pull earbuds out of my ears, still hear the voice!!! And the strangest thing is, it is clearly Simon's voice, but his words are non-sensical gibberish, like he's speaking another language. This has happened several times. I always have a laugh at myself when I wake up!!!! Anyhow, thank you for another story!!!!
Thank you!!! I NEEDED THIS! Time to enjoy and relax. Edit: You did a wonderful job with all the voices. I could clearly follow the story and visualize it in my mind. Very, very well done.
I’ve had a very trying weekend with little sleep and, worse, I couldn’t listen to your wonderful storytelling to get me through 😢 Am now home, abed mid-afternoon and finally able to listen and enjoy. Frankly, if I could stay here for the next week, I would! 😀♥️
Bravo, Mr. Stanhope! You are indeed a most incorrigible curator of period literature, and, (perhaps inadvertantly), the foremost of all bastions of antiquated vernacular, inspiring the common man to utter his UA-cam comments with fanciful flamboyance and bravado. Cheers to you for keeping English language, ways, and arts alive!
Delightful! I enjoy the Max Carrados stories very much, especially as read by yourself, Simon. I did like the unexpected ending ('Deus ex machina' in the true sense of the expression?)
Time to settle in with a cup of coffee spiced with saffron and enjoy another perfectly read installment by Mr. Bramah with so many voices to give your talents to Simon! 💚🙏🏽
I recently picked up an entire collection of Max Carrados stories and I am in love-- if you hadn't started reading them, I'd have never learned they existed. He's surpassed Holmes by a mile.
Fascinating story, "never say never" comes to mind, otherwise you're asking for trouble. Or perhaps, "where there's a will there's a way" would be appropriate. Either way the bank was doomed! Another wonderful narration yet again. Your skills as a narrator always impress, the tone of your voice is so rich, and the variety of characterizations you manage is masterful. Thank you for sharing with us!
SO WELL DONE SIR, CONSUMATE PROFESSIONALITY THROUGHOUT, We are indebted to youre talent i hope the BBC has noticed you, thanks for the excellent performances
Sat in my basket egg chair in the garden on this lazy Sunday afternoon and gently twirled myself from time to time sipping a chilled glass of bubbly while listening. Absolutely fantastic narration. So relaxing, putting you right in the middle of the story.
Thanks! I adore Max C stories! It’s hope it’s not in-politically correct (a lot of things are at the moment when other things that should be… suddenly it’s ok to be prejudice against people that undergo surgeries to change sex, I don’t mean the whole gender fluid thing and I am not against it but it does undo all the work that people who have undergone hrt and surgeries and had the puberty of the desired/essential gender) but I call him the blind Sherlock! The blind often develop clairvoyance more easily than the rest of us and they often see with the 3rd eye quite sufficiently with the bonus of seeing other dimensions and for any skeptics our thoughts are in a different dimension which is why they aren’t visible to all of us! I believe thought forms are easily detected by Clairvoyants! Sorry… sorry boring you no doubt but I am fascinated as apparently these are all innate abilities lying dormant within most of us but with some formal meditation and a clear intention…. I know Simon, enough… you must think me totally insane sometimes! 😂Thank you earth Angel 😇 for your endless patience! ♥️✨👑✨♥️
Finally I found the thing I was telling you about! Will help again because I have more expense’s than usual this month, I swear I am telling you the truth!❤ can’t wait to enjoy with a clear conscience! Lol 😂🙏✨ 💙🪬🌍🪬💙
Thanks so much Maria, I really appreciate your kind support - and comments - greatly appreciated. I really enjoy Max's adventures too; certainly more to come!
Simon I have had some trouble with an old malady that resurfaces without warning usually at the most inopportune moments in life and I think you may have noticed that lately I haven’t been myself and I read all my recent comments and I can confirm that it is definitely the result of getting used to this bloody pain medication which makes me drowsy and impairs my judgment slightly and takes away my filter so I type every word that comes into my head! With zero censorship or barely any inhibition’s!! ☺️ I am coming off this strong medication again and now I am more myself! Forgive me please 🙏
Jackie Kennedy (hello ❤) was an editor for two publishing companies, one being Doubleday , a TWIN comm; my thoughts are that at least Jackie Kennedy, if not others, re-wrote the Bible so she wouldn't be embarrassed by the true events of The Garden of Eden and The Cross. You know I forgive you, and so will everyone else. Love is the answer. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, remember when we had great comedy Fools and Horses, it ain’t half hot mum, One foot in the grave and so many more. No bad language, no sex, no real violence and so much funnier than anything you’ll see today.
The hotel fire he mentions really happened. It was in Atlanta. Can’t think of the name and the timing may be off, but that really happened and a photographer won a Pulitzer Prize for a photo of a lady jumping out of a window of the burning hotel.
Now would something like that actually change a person? I would think that it would make them mad enough, judging by the sound of some of them who had their valuables taken, not to consider attending a service at the Salvation Army, and I am a Christian!
Hi Marisa, yes indeed, you're a member via PayPal, so I've been trying to work out a way of getting the extra content to you. Members on UA-cam, Patreon, Bandcamp etc can all access the content via those platforms, but there's no similar mechanism with PayPal, so I'm in the processing of setting something up... via gift codes on Bandcamp is probably the best way I think. Keep an eye on your email (the email address you signed up with on PayPal) and I'll send you some links later today all being well
@@BitesizedAudio Not a problem Simon, no rush, I still have many un-member stories to listen to. Simply the title "Diary of a Nobody" is tantalizing, something to look forward to!
Hmm, it sounds like you haven't received the two emails I sent you yesterday... might they have filtered into your spamfolder? Do let me know if you've got them, or I can resend to a different address
I've just sent the link again to the email you have on PayPal (your gmail address)... please can you let me know if you receive it? May be worth checking your junk email folder if it's gone astray
Hello Patricia, no they're not excerpts, they're all single stories complete in themselves. Sometimes they're one of a series of stories, I will reference that in the video description if so, but either way they all stand alone and can be listened to in any order. I hope that helps!

Marvelous voice.
I not a prude by any sense of the imagination but it is refreshing to listen to a storyline that avoids gratuitous violence, language or sex while still being thoroughly entertaining.
I agree, Hollywood has become so pornographic I have to fast forward to the content. I guess it's an answer to ALOT of people's prayer's. For me it leaves nothing to the imagination and that's the best part of entertainment. The escape to a place and time!
@@nicolealbertson906 Shockingly that includes films aimed at young children with highly inappropriate subjects.
Much appreciated, thank you so much John
I find myself agreeing! Does this mean I am getting old I wonder?! But actually I have always felt this way even though I do like movies with ghosts I just don’t get it how Hollywood, (just off the coast of planet Earth 🌍😉🙃) has come to the conclusion that as soon as someone dies or leave’s the restriction of the human body, they suddenly become evil and dangerous!

@@johnharling5246what do you refer to, specifically??
I absolutely enjoy the blind detective.
Thanks for another delightful bedtime story.
I love this story.

@BitesizedAudio trust me the pleasure has been mine. I'm thanking you. Sometimes it's nice to let people know that they're appreciated.
Same
Thank you Simon, I know we have a treat in store, much appreciated!
Thank you, Simon. Another perfect presentation. Blessings on you and yours.
Thanks Tammy
This is my 5th time listening to this. I will never get tired of it.
A highly enjoyable tale Simon, thank you. I had never heard the Max Carrados stories before but I'm glad I have now.

You are wonderful Simon. Always there with marvellous stories Thank You Carol
Stanhope is a master of narration: an excellent audio acter with a wonderful voice.
Mnnyes i appreciate his narrations and ejaculations immensly ..harhar
This was a great story- but your portrayal of the numerous characters was truly amazing Simon! You can do SO many & SO very well! I have heard you do 2 or 3 but wow that was well over half a dozen & each 1 is fantastic.
♥️♥️♥️♥️🤷♀️✌️
Thank you Jackalina, appreciated. Yes, by my count there were 12 speaking characters in this one, including Max, so it was quite a challenge!

Perfectly timed for a bedtime story. I do enjoy listening. Thank you for these uploads, Simon, they are very much appreciated.

Me too Yvonne. Big fan & longtime sub of Simon too. We do share excellent taste my dear👍🏼👏😌
@@TedaR We do indeed! 😃
Stanhope creates great narrations using an excellent voice.
The best Carrados story I've heard - this was marvellous

It's raining!! Really hard rain. Perfect time for listening to Simon. Thank you for narrating!!
Yeah, Max Carrados.
Thank you Simon!
For all the work you do on these videos!
My pleasure! Thanks Snippy
Thank you Mr Stanhope. Another salve for the soul before bed. 😊
Great story. “I was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see.” An expat listening in S Florida.
I do like these Max Carrados stories! Thank you for this!
Many thanks Simon 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!! I NEEDED THIS! Time to enjoy and relax.
Edit: You did a wonderful job with all the voices. I could clearly follow the story and visualize it in my mind. Very, very well done.

Had to look up a few words, but loved it, as always. keep up the excellent work, Simon!!
Many thanks Lynn, I'll do my best!
Thanks!

Well read and enjoyable unlike some of present day radio plays and readings. Thank you for posting.
Another brilliant Carrados adventure, superbly narrated by yourself, very enjoyable!!✊♥️
Thank you. Your narrations are helping me get through a bad time. Thank you.
Glad to help. Best wishes to you
Delightful! I enjoy the Max Carrados stories very much, especially as read by yourself, Simon. I did like the unexpected ending ('Deus ex machina' in the true sense of the expression?)
Wonderful as always! Love Carrados. Watching through The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes (again). Always a favorite.
Ah yes, a good series, though it's a shame they only did one episode featuring Max
Nice long story is just what I need tonight ❤ thanks Simon
You're welcome, Jessi
I looooove your voices! The bank manager’s cracks me up! I can picture him perfectly 😂!
Time to settle in with a cup of coffee spiced with saffron and enjoy another perfectly read installment by Mr. Bramah with so many voices to give your talents to Simon! 💚🙏🏽
I drink coffee with cardamom spice, delicious as well, and seems to be healthy according to the Ayurveda philosophy....
Looks like im trying saffron spiced coffee soon. Never considered that lol
My favorite of the Cerrados stories so far. Thanks. Odd that these stories should be so appealing.
I recently picked up an entire collection of Max Carrados stories and I am in love-- if you hadn't started reading them, I'd have never learned they existed. He's surpassed Holmes by a mile.
Wonderful story and quite enchanting. Performed superbly.
Thank you Rupert, much appreciated
Thanks
Thanks so much for your support, and for joining as a channel member. I hope you enjoy the extra stories
A gem of a story beautifully read by Simon. Thank you!
Thank you Simon, I soooo needed this.
Simon Stanhope is Max Carrados, and Max is back 😂👍
Hello my handsome friend. Ty as always! Most excellent work as always! ❤ Carrados
Just when I needed you most! ❤
Glad to help, Bob! Delighted to know you enjoyed Professor Bulge...
Utterly delicious accompaniment - to my New Orleans lunch!!!
I wish there was a never ending Max Carrados ❤
I think the detective stories are my favorite, but amongst them I don't have a favorite. They are all so cheeky!
I’m new to these stories but love them, thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment
Thank you, Simon! Your Australian accent was done so well that I thought for a second it might be a different actor. Wonderful performance.❤

What a great talent! Do enjoy choice of stories and voice acting. Thanks.
A real Tour de Force ! Stylishly written and read !!
Thank you kindly, so glad to know you enjoyed it!
Could have been the perfect plot for a " heist " movie. ?
In fact I'm not sure that elements
of it haven't been used in films ?
Splendid!!
Thanks. Nicely narrated. Max Carrados is new to me.

The finale.... unexpected
The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Oh but the story doesn't end!!
Did they sell their stuff and helped the poor? 😩 And then lived a lighter life?
I hope they did!

Hello Patricia, no they're not excerpts, they're all single stories complete in themselves. Sometimes they're one of a series of stories, I will reference that in the video description if so, but either way they all stand alone and can be listened to in any order. I hope that helps!
@@BitesizedAudio Yes, it does. Thank you.
