About this book

Egbert tries to reconcile with his wife, Lady Anne, after an argument. Despite his dramatic apologies, she doesn’t seem to be receptive. In fact, she doesn’t respond at all. Their cat and bird are witness to this strange interaction. It is quite silly not to make peace, as husband and wife… don’t you think? This striking short story by H. H. Munro, aka Saki, is a satire of ridiculous upper-class manners. Tainted with a dark humor, it will definitely surprise you, so be sure to dive right in!
