"It was before the Idiot's marriage, and in the days when he was nothing more than a plain boarder in Mrs. Smithers-Pedagog's High-class Home for Single Gentlemen, that he put what the School-master termed his "alleged mind" on plans for the amelioration of the condition of the civilized." This humorous story by the editor of Puck magazine describes how the Idiot sets out to improve the lot of civilized man through his inventions - the lot of barbarian man already being well tended to by missionaries and other do-gooders.

It was funny. Like reading sketch comedy. Entertaining, but not a lot. But the voice performances sucked. Especially the wife. Can't remember her name. The same lady read for Hound of the Baskervilles. Enough to make you wanna shove a pencil in your ear.

Half the readers cannot be understood even just to introduce their characters and themselves. The ones who can be understand beyonf the introduction are terrible in their own right.
Good story
