Tonight I have a cute little short story by the Canadian humourist Stephen Leacock. He describes the financial challenges of opening a bank account, back when it was all done through an oak and brass wicket.
Leacock was a Canadian teacher, political scientist, writer, and humorist, in the early 1900's. He had a summer home in Orillia and wrote with a dry wit about life in small Ontario towns.
I hope you enjoy this tidbit - does it remind you of having to apply for a loan or mortgage?
Would you like more by Leacock? Maybe in bundles of 2-3 at a time? Or other classics like Huck Finn or Jeeves and Wooster or Alice in Wonderland or -- even my short stories?
Let me know in the comments.
And Happy New Year. It can't be as bad as 2023, right?
