I'm re reading Cakes & ale, Somerset Maugham which I last read several decades ago. It took a bit of getting into & seems quite wordy by today's standards. But I'm enjoying it again, especially the bits about the stupidity of the English class system & the crashing snobbery which was once prevalent - someone who had the nerve to come to the front door, or to speak to someone who was from the 'upper class', they 'weren't quite the thing.'
Good grief, we humans are such fools!

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
