This afternoon I am giving a talk about the works of Rudyard Kipling to a group of people who are members to the same international fraternal organisation that I belong to. The meeting is in St Albans, Hertfordshire, and I will assisted by a colleague, who will be reading various passages for me. (I long ago realised that people begin to lose concentration if they only listen to one voice for much more than twenty minutes. By asking my colleague to read the sections of text and poetry that I refer to in my talk, it helps listeners to concentrate for longer because the voice they are listening to changes reasonably frequently.)
I have given this talk before, and it was very well received. I hope that today's audience will be equally appreciative and will learn something that they did not previously know about Kipling.
