Review by: Lucie Le Blanc on April 01, 2012 : star star star star star
I have no words to describe this short story. Brilliant in its realism maybe ? This little guide for the Victorian gentry is a delight to read.

I just wish I could be in Mr Saywer's head : it seems that very interesting things happen in there. ;)
