Welcome to the conclusion of our seventy-ninth Tale for Our Time: The Quest of the Sacred Slipper by Sax Rohmer. In our final episode it all comes down to ..."the Moslem character":
"You and I have both got little scores up against Hassan, which it's not in human nature to forget. But I've got it worked out that there's only one way. It may nearly choke us to have to do it, I'll allow. I'm working on the Moslem character."
Members of The Mark Steyn Club can hear me read the conclusion of The Quest of the Sacred Slipper simply by clicking here and logging-in. Earlier episodes can be found here.
We shall have a brand new Tale for Our Time later this month. In the meantime, a word on listener reaction to our other Tales: some like the ripping yarns for boys, some the more genteel social comedy for girls, and some of you even enjoy our ventures into summer whimsy from yours truly. But of the tales in totality all seem to be in favour.
If you've yet to hear any of them, you can enjoy eight-and-a-half years' worth of audio adventures - by Conan Doyle, Kafka, Wodehouse, Gogol, Dickens, Baroness Orczy, Jane Austen, George Orwell, Robert Louis Stevenson and more - by joining The Mark Steyn Club.
