*bounces* Yay! Okay, send it to brookechappell@gmail.com whenever you like.
I have an embarrassing number of Saki collections, since I kept finding them at library sales, with something or other that the ones I had didn't include, be it only an introduction by someone fabulous. I was thinking, at one point, of writing a play about his life, with the stories intertwined, so I've read a couple of bios, too. Graham Greene or someone said that, "Few writers are less interesting to read about. Saki exists only to be read," which is utter poppycock, IMHO. There's a great anecdote from his sister of when they were little kids, and their aunts walked in on Hector chasing his two older siblings around the room, shouting something like, "I'm God Almighty! I will destroy you!" (Better than that, actually, but I'm away from my books right now and can't look it up.) Needless to say, they all got in trouble. Lots of it. XD
OoooOOOOoooh. Shiny! (I love that one story in one of the Mulliner books, with the gentleman named ffarrowmere-ffinch.)
