Thank you. I can’t afford to send anything to you, but I still enjoy your stories. My son pays for my phone , and I go to bed early and listen to you telling these tales with such enjoyment. Good stories and you are an excellent narrator. Thanks… so much. X

Big Thank You to Gavin! Great Reading, Tony---I don't give even a tiny rat's ass about "classist" profiling of fictional characters---I love the humor of it. The old man isn't lower class---but he's amusing as well because he's so gleeful about being an evil git.

With its marriage and happily-ever-after ending it reads like M R James meets Jane Austin.

I've listened to this story done by many other readers, but this was the first time I was able to fully comprehend the story elements. It was quite enjoyable.
