#eBook Where was Wych Street? by Stacy Aumonier
"Wych Street! Wych Street be damned! If he said Wych Street was in the moon, you should have agreed with him."
There is no such thing as a typical Aumonier story or a typical Aumonier character. Some of his stories are comedies; some are moving stories of missed opportunity or loss. Some are war stories. He wrote with equal empathy about the very poor, the very rich, men, women, movers and shakers, hobos, pompous husbands, shallow wives, war heroes, deserters, idealists, thieves.
All his stories have in common is a great ease of style and "a sense of line that most of us should envy," as Galsworthy put it. Even Aumonier's least significant stories—ones that he wrote purely as entertainments—are written with remarkable fluidity and wit.
Stacy Aumonier, born 31 March 1877 died 21 December 1928, was a British author and stage performer, known best for his short stories. Between 1913 and 1928, he published more than 85 stories, 6 novels, a volume of character studies, and a volume of 15 essays.
