I have had problems enough with women and with my own life to need some advice, and even though we are separated by most of a century, Maugham is here to provide it. I have always questioned the motives that lay behind the decisions in my life, and why I should be and act a certain way around certain women, and in these short stories I have something approaching an answer. Thank you, Somerset, yet again.
