The second story, "The Scharz-Metterklume Method," follows a German governess who wreaks havoc on a family's household. Other stories include parodies of the fashion industry, the art world, and the education system. Saki's writing is witty and clever, and his use of humor is sharp and biting. The Westminster Alice is a must-read for fans of satire and British humor.
