Read It Here

Well, what’s this then?  A two-page story, which actually seems to be a recounting of an actual meeting rather than a story.  And . . . there’s no sub-text!  What’s going on?

Well, this is actually Hem getting back to his roots, to those postcard-fiction days of his youth, which is only fitting given that this is the last ‘new’ story before the volume flies on back to In Our Time, his first collection, published in 1925.  But there’s not much we need to know here:

Man Is Still Capable Of Compassion In Face Of War.

That’s about it, I would think.
