Saki: Story Teller, Packletide Tiger, Schartz-Metterklume

Tonight’s author is H. H. Munro. Christopher Morley observed that the glass we raise for him is the fragile, hollow-stemmed goblet meant for the driest champagne; it is of finest crystal. Occasionally at his table we are aware that he was also a still wine of elect vintage; but for the most part he preferred to sparkle and fume with incessant bubbles of wit.
