«Once upon a time, I wrote a little story of a woman who was crushed to death by a python. A day or two after its publication, a friend stopped me in the street. «Charming little story of yours,» he said,« that about the woman and the snake; but it's not as funny as some of your things!» The next week, a newspaper, referring to the tale, remarked, «We have heard the incident related before with infinitely greater humour.»
