I’ve been working for a while on Saki’s Shock Tactics (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1477/1477-h/1477-h.htm), and I could have gone on working on it forever, as the obsessive compulsive I am, if I hadn’t finally cried out ‘Enough!’ I wanted my NA1 students to read this story and do some exercises, but I believe I’ve gone through a lot more trouble than I should have. There’s just one too many questions, don’t you agree? Not one of my pupils has the time to answer them all, nor would be willing to if they did happen to have it.
