About this episode
The episode discusses a dialogue between a man and a woman who reconnect in a cafe, revealing their past and current lives.
This story is actually a dialogue between a man and a woman who had once been romantically involved and now find themselves meeting by chance in a small cafe. He has done well the past six years, she- not so well. He leads the conversation, which is all about his travels and the way he once felt for her, and manages to slight her a few times in the course of the conversation. Katherine Mansfield reveals a lot about both of them in just a few words- a real sign of a great classic short story writer.
