A review by bookpossum
Reginald in Russia and Other Sketches (Dodo Press) by Saki, H.H. Munro
4.0
More great fun with Saki. I loved this, from "Cross Currents", about a woman called Vanessa Pennington who had a husband "who was poor, with few extenuating circumstances ...":
"She had a strong natural bias towards respectability, though she would have preferred to have been respectable in smarter surroundings, where her example would have done more good. To be beyond reproach was one thing, but it would have been nicer to have been nearer to the Park."
Bliss!
