A reading of Saki's delightfully mischievous short story The Unrest-Cure, first published in 1910.

Clovis Sangrail has devised a novel remedy for the ennui of the wealthy: a little excitement, a touch of danger, and perhaps a healthy dose of terror. When he proposes his cure to the bored and comfortable, the results are rather more dramatic than anyone might have anticipated.

A wickedly entertaining comedy of manners, in which Saki turns his sharp wit upon the languor, privilege, and self-satisfaction of Edwardian society.
