    The description of the men and women in the restaurant was so lovely! So sad no one can ever describe the guests in a restaurant like that today.

    I’m so glad I stumbled on this channel. Elizabeth the original cougar. How wonderful that she found to be true to herself. At 69 I truly enjoyed the lady as much as the gentleman.

    Great - even the pronunciation of “wound” as in hurt, rather than winding up a watch 🤣But really enjoying these uploads - thank you!

    Lovely. But 'wownd' not 'woond'. Watches used to be wound every night. Seems a long time ago.

    My best friend worked at the Vatican for several years. He said you could always tell who the American tourists - fat and badly dressed.

      At least Americans bathe daily and wear clean clothes. In other words, they don't stink like lots of Europeans.

      A very good copy of Simon Stanhope's voice but lacks proper pronunciation of some simple word, and the emphasis is odd at times. I let Simon know someone is using his voice. Check out the real Simon Stanhope at Bitesized Audio Classics.

    Not so simple, it betrays the personality of the character.

    a simple narrative with nothing remarkable in it, thousand times such incidents happen in everyday lives, maybe at that time it must have been salacious to write.
