Katherine Mansfield's story is written from the perspective of a witty female who befriends a buffoonish professor. The guests at a German pension decide to take part in a concert. Fraulein Sonia performs a theatrical dance and Herr Professor plays his trombone. The narrator describes this performance with quiet amusement and cynicism. Katherine Mansfield applies her characteristic wit to this story, The Modern Soul, first published in the collection In a German Pension. Read by Sophie Thompson Produced by Lucy Collingwood.
