      Nigel Anthony's very good - and something of a veteran of BBC radio productions... Ironically, though he had a TV career too I'm really not sure I'd recognise him until he spoke...

    Very good!
    Well written - compelling, but I wonder (like one of the other comments) why people kept the picture?
    Is that part of its curse?!
    Thank you for posting 😊

    Susan Hill's ghost story reveals the background to a mysterious depiction of masked revellers at the Venice Carnival which hangs in the college rooms of a Cambridge professor. Read by Nigel Anthony

      Very nice summary without giving away the PLOT, something with which takes a finesse when giving more than a sentence of summary. I remember my film professor raising “holy hell” at the lack the capabilities of students being able to complete a 5 paragraph essay this way. I think of this when I see film trailers basically show the whole film and other film trailers that plant a seed of desire to understand the “plant” as it were.
      Anyway, your comment reminded me of this. Cheers!

    Chillingly reminiscent of my experiences while trying to get rid of a signed Trump coffee mug I'd bought from a goodwill shop for 50c.

    " Cambridge bachelors "..? Hmm. A euphemism ?

    • @evelanpatton

      Does it really matter to the story, I think not; it’s superfluous non-sense, distracting one from the substance within. It takes more to invest in the engagement of contextual relation to what is of pertinent value, than to have a cheap cheep at the descriptive details. I guess, sadly, that’s about the kind of time given to such an intricately developed story about a painting these days; now, if the story was on the character’s physical motivations or relative emotional context then one might think this a very intriguing comment to explore based on the text and might uncover some knowledge & wisdom behind the art of a character.
