“The sins of others are ever before you, while you resolutely keep your own behind your back.�

This was written the same year as The Kreutzer Sonata, which worried me at first, but this one has a moral I can get behind. More a sermon than a fable, but a decent story of the dangers of arguing with your neighbors.

Brina Kathleen, I looked it up and it says was published in a collection The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories. I may have to pick this up.

Brina, the collection is probably well worth reading, but I really disliked Kreutzer Sonata, so I'll wait to see what you think. :-)

Georgia Scott Intriguing. I'll give it a look, Kathleen.


Kathleen Thanks, Georgia. FYI, it's not long, and easily available on Project Gutenberg. :-)

Georgia Scott Even better. Thanks, Kathleen.
