The Troubadour

This is a story book. There was something odd about the guest attraction, Mr. Fayliss, and something odder still about his songs. A jaded city-dweller attends a party where he meets a scholar of ancient cultures who sings for the guests. Until the ending, everything about the story is implied or hinted at. If that kind of plotting and sometimes florid description don't drive you crazy, you may enjoy the story.
