A reading of Saki's celebrated short story Tobermory, first published in 1911.

At a country house gathering, Mr Appin succeeds in teaching his host's cat, Tobermory, to speak. What initially appears to be a remarkable scientific achievement soon becomes a rather serious social problem—for Tobermory has been listening rather more attentively to his human companions than they had realised.

A brilliantly malicious comedy of manners from Saki, in which the conventions of polite society begin to unravel with the arrival of one extraordinarily indiscreet cat.
