Two great short stories from Edna Ferber for your enjoyment. When you listen to her writing style you begin tom appreciate how much she says with a minimum of words- yet we know her characters and learn her story completely.

Few people now recollect Edna Ferber, once a best-selling novelist. Nevertheless she numbered among her champions Somerset Maugham, who in 1948 told playwright Garson Kanin: "I admire Edna Ferber. She's a true professional." To Kanin's inquiry, "What sort of writer would you call her?", Maugham responded: "The best sort. She writes because she must, compulsively. She couldn't not write, if you take my meaning."

In this classic story by Guy de Maupassant a young man with a troubling past marries a young French girl, and during their wedding party a note is delivered to him that requires him to leave the party immediately.

He tells his new wife that an old friend is in dire trouble and he must go and help. As the hours pass the young bride awaits an unsure future.
