    I love Somerset Maugham's stories. They are short, but contain a lot of events and there is always something to think about.

    Very often, it is the openness and level of devotion that makes up for other lacking.

    Fascinating story drenched in an exotic atmosphere. It carried me away.

    “The girl had a wisdom unusual in her sex. . . “ !! A statement like that’s enough to put you off Maugham forever. How disappointing.

      ....he was a snob too, maybe??

    Can you imagine? A mansion “cost $100,00 to build !” A hundred thousand dollars today would barely build you a one-bedroom lean-to.

    The illustration is Hong Kong, not Honolulu.

    5 mins in... does he say of the Chinese women... "velly" clean or "very" clean... ?
    Tongue in cheek or....?

      It's a modest long dress, often with long sleeves. Today, the Hawaiian version is called a muumuu.
