The Little Restaurant Near Place Des Ternes by Georges Simenon
I’ve heard/read all of Agatha’ stories many times & still never tire of them. Thank you!❤
I'm mid-story and hoping for more details about that 9-piece living room suite (overstuffed) before the end.
I loved your reading... APART FROM the pronunciation of Pince next, which was appalling!
Great reading Casper!!
Brilliant, I'm now hooked on Miss Marple.
What a great wee story.the narrator is excellent. Love it...thank you.x
He is. He is!
Decent, kindly and compassionate Miss Marple about the Wasps! 🐝🐝🐝💕 ...they're just little creatures too! ❤
Interesting
Thanks ... This audiobook version is super ...
I’m very happy you think so!
What are our future projections today? Mostly apocalyptic or void.
Clever story as expected! Well read!
Excellent. I am enjoying this. Thank you to you and the narrator for a well- read story. I hadn't heard this one before. Much appreciated x
Thank you Tony!
My pleasure!
If she could imitate Cockney so well, why did she retain an Austrian accent?
Fair point. Though I think I’m reasonably good at posh but retain my native accent day to day
Wow! A Peter Wibsey story I didn't know, thanks ❤
Delightful narration, love the "ramblings ! Very entertaining! Much needed and appreciated-many thanks to you both!
Our pleasure!
Thanks
Love the accent 😁
That’s how you narrate a story. Wonderful job.
Thanks Tony. I struggle to get through a detective story, but I enjoyed this one. I loved the tech' in this, and the fact that it was explained. Well done Mrs S. In our house we only watch "cozy crime", there is a strict "No Graphic Violence" code to telly watching, so this meets with the code. Sadly there is still a pronounced discrepency in female wages to male, the whole world over. I hope that too will change soon. Thanks Matthew. 🙏👍👋
I recently discovered your wonderful renditions and will be working my way through them all. I was wondering if you can find a good Eric Ambler short story? He is considered the father of modern espionage.
I have done an Eric Ambler chapter. Not sure he did many short stories, but if you know of some I'd be delighted to learn
He did write some short stories. Look for one called The Army of the Shadows. That would be a good one for you to do.
I enjoy a Dorothy Sayers story. Sadly, I personally find the narrator's voice grating to my ears and brain; and cannot continue listening. Thanks, Tony, for the effort of finding a reader and posting the story.
I agree. I like this narrator, but not in this story. I need Tony's voice to listen to a long story. I was very excited until I realized Tony wasn't reading. There's no problem with the accent, so I don't understand why.
Reference to phone taps, plastic surgery, voice recognition . . . pretty sophisticated for 1928!
And accurate. The elites are at minimum a century ahead of the rest of us
Loved the narration! as always the guest narrators are awesome! I really look forward to your commentary as well. Indeed looking back through our current world view lens makes things look "uglier" than they were probably intended to be but they can also show how inspiring and pivotal the roles our forebears played in shaping our world really is. Thanks again for an awesome episode.
Well read, however, the 'f' instead of 'th' makes me cringe. Like yourself, I taught languages and you're right; it sounds odd but you get a deeper meaning into words (like their history and how the Latin words are often understood more easily. For example 'hard' as an adjective. 'difficult' is often far easier for students) Thanks as always for your waffle 😊
Thank you for the story I had forgotten about this one.
Wonderfull period drama, loved it, thank you
I much appreciated this. Also Your resume after the story. Thanks
First! 😁
I have the Calendar Of Crime book. Loved all the stories in that volume. I enjoyed this even though I knew the outcome. I thought Michael Rutland did a good job playing Ellery.
Very pleasant and so well told !
I have sea grey eyes.
I didn’t expect to find you narrating this story but am SO pleased that you are. I am in for a treat😀
Thank you! for the story and the after commentary!!
The commentary is always so much appreciated!!
Thank you muchly much Tony.. so well narrated.... ❣️Maigret ..
Your narration is superb, and your exposition afterwards is lots of fun. Thank you! Wish I'd found your channel sooner.
I'm glad you're here now.
beautiful expressive voice- too many youtubers haven't a clue how to read or present audio. This is truly classic reading and wish that others could learn that phrasing and articulation are very important in presentation regardless of genre.
Thank you much!❤
love listening, good story, thank you
wow!!! love Agatha Christie!!! than you, so glad i came across you.
When hard-boiled detective is undone by the narrator voice being MUCH too youthful & cheery for bloody murder & betrayal stories...
There is a good chance this story, by age of origin, had inspired the `Jeff the Killer´ #creepypasta
Nice / Thanks ! (just a trifle heavy on the bass)
It's not actually added. It's just my natural voice for better or for worse.
Thanks for the music title
14:48
Love your aftertalk
I love your nuanced reading of one of my favorite author's works, and I thoroughly enjoy the commentary. Thank you for taking the time.
Wow, thank you!
I really liked this story. I agree with your suppositions Tony. Let me lay this on you; I started thinking about it from a Freudian analytical perspective. Well, sometimes a story is just a story!😅
your overview of the meaning of this short story was insightful and interesting. that is, i really liked your thoughts and analysis. and how Simenon’s life affected his writing. i was trying to figure out the girl. was she stupid? what the in the hell was she doing to herself? the older woman was a very smart person. i felt all this just through the writing. Simenon somehow knew people (and women, unusual for a man) and could, with a few words put their soul on paper. this was a brilliant story and beautifully read. i completely forgot i was listening to someone read, it was so vivid in my mind. thank you so much for the story and your thoughts. 🌷🌱
Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice comment.
