W.S. Maugham’s stories make exciting reading and give food for reflection The writer is a great master of ironic style.

Somerset Maugham "Louise" I could never understand why Louise bothered with me. She disliked me and I knew that behind my back she seldom lost the opportunity of saying a disagreeable thing about me. She had too much delicacy ever to make a direct statement‚ but with a hint and a sigh and a little gesture of her beautiful hands she was able to make her meaning plain.
