The only snag is that I can never remember the names that go with them. Only the other day, I raised my hat to one fellow, quite distinguished-looking he was, and I thou

It was through my awful memory for names that something unpleasant happened to me not long ago.It was a Friday evening and I was in the train on my way home. It was not

3、 my regular train, for I had been kept late at work, and when it got to Ruislip, three stops before mine, there were only two of us in the compartment. I could tell straight away he was an Oxbridge man. Im an Oxbridge man, and I had definitely seen this fellows face there. But his name completely el

I told him quite a lot about myself, how my ship had come that day, a friend had repaid me $200 in cash and many other details. He showed a flicker of inte
