A selection of further Antrobus stories.
Connoisseurs could do no worse than turn to 'Something a la Carte?',the story of a
Colonel of the Blues who by mistake Ate Horse,and of his tragic degradation,and they might then ask themselves if Antrobus
was ever in mellower form.But who are we to discriminate between this story and
'Stiff Upper Lip' itself,or 'The Unspeakable Attache',or 'The Game's the Thing',or 'Where the Bee Sucks' or 'Cry Wolf' or 'La Valise' or 'The Iron Hand' or,indeed,'The Swami's Secret'?
