The story begins at: 00:01:20 This is my fifth reading to date of an "Old Man in the Corner" story; if you enjoyed it and would like to hear the others, I've collected them in this playlist, which I'll add to as and when I record more from the series: kzbin.info/aero/PLi95qAoufCZJhRcQsHN1jhG2wcLHR6bfv Or for a selection of other classic detective stories, including Sherlock Holmes, Max Carrados, Loveday Brooke, Dr. Thorndyke, Father Brown, Martin Hewitt, and more, do take a look at my Victorian & Edwardian Detective Stories podcast: kzbin.info/aero/PLi95qAoufCZJMv5kcx_Is-ntdo4W8Wi0r

Thank you so much for your reading

[@tammyhanlon3057]

@BitesizedAudio you are very thoughtful about our listening pleasure, thank you so much

[@rachael7060]

The score to bitesized audio just gives me a very happy feeling and Mr. S.S, your voice tops it off! ❤

[@kimlr-herring]

It's an automatic thumbs up for your readings, Mr. Stanhope. Thank you for your excellent work. ☮️

[@annagettings4675]

YAY! 😊Wonderful, as always, my favourite set of Emma Orczy's stories. Beautifully read as always. Sanity, at the end of a crazy day. Thank you Simon ❤

[@zettaichan]

I've listened to a lot of podcasts & KZbin channels that read public domain stories, and all of them have their charms, but I have to say Simon Stanhope is the most attention-commanding performer I've found. Always so clear and compelling. I never lose track of what's happening in the story, I don't distract myself and tune him out. If he's talking, I'm listening! It's quite a talent.

[@georgepointer1127]

Well we can't all be married to him 😂

[@spn4473]

Hallelujah! More Bitesized Simon!! Thank you.🎉

[@marciedewolff9357]

Just saying...I needed this! Thank you Simon!

[@teresawilson9530]

Thank you for this! I am listening here in Southern California. Our home and family are fine in the midst of the horrendous wind and fires. Praise God, and praying for those who lost their homes and loved ones. 🙏

[@elleeo1495]

So excited to see a new story about the man in the corner! Thank you, Simon!

[@simoneclift3155]

There are days when I am thankful for insomnia! No sleep? No problem. Mr Stanhope and his narration to the rescue. 😊 Thank you.

[@stephaniealeman8522]

With the usual telepathy, I had just finished listening to the other “man in the corner” stories you’ve done -when this arrived! Thanks Simon! 🙏🏽

[@BitesizedAudio]

How serendipitous!

[@maryeckel9682]

The old man in the corner returns! Coming in clutch to solve my YT doldrums, thank you, Simon.

[@beverlyadams7205]

Oh boy, a new story!!!🎉

[@jodownhour11]

Unwavering excellence. Thank you, Sir!

I'm a beginner voiceover artist and thoroughly enjoy the stories!

My ex was a voice over artist, whenever I spoke her voice came over mine.

[@thurayya8905]

Thank you! I always enjoy the man in the corner with his string and interesting tales.

[@moniquevandermerwe7420]

Now I'm happy. Thank you

[@michaeldonahoo461]

So wonderful to have a story about blackguards again.

[@Frenchblue8]

(#2 reply left after the first vanished instantly) Yes, but what happened to the £10K?

[@BitesizedAudio]

@@Frenchblue8 I think it's stated [SPOILER ALERT!] that he's living off it in his bachelor flat, but as the Old Man in the Corner points out it's going to run out eventually...

[@susanschlesinger4791]

Love the new look. And thank you for your marvelous stories.

[@michaelblankenau6598]

You are an excellent narrator . Very clear enunciation and the type of voice that is a pleasure to listen to .

[@BitesizedAudio]

Thank you kindly

[@nancyhalstead916]

Thank you, Simon, for sharing this wonderful story. Your voice is superb. Your enunciation is precise and clear. I really enjoy listening to you.

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

Yay, I so love the teahouse detective, and your excellent narrations!

[@flapjackfae]

Ahhhhh, That Voice is back.

[@paulacnote]

Yippee you read so well and I love the less scary stories 😊

[@ericpug9154]

Cheers Mr. Stanhope! 🫖 I was just getting a bit depressed about the state of YT, but you arrived just in time.

[@davehopkins1970]

A very English tale thanks Simon Keir starmer says anyone liking this is a far right thug😂

[@davidwebster3107]

@@davehopkins1970 No he doesn’t. He might say that you are pursuing a phoney right wing culture war agenda. So might I.

[@MaximillianG.C]

A charming mystery to start the new year. Thank you, Simon. I wish you all the best this coming season. I also snagged a great collection I recommend. The Winter Spirits: Ghostly tales for frosty nights. More modern in their approach. But still continues the classic tradition of telling tales on winters eves

[@BitesizedAudio]

Sounds good, I'll look it up!

[@MoonLitChild]

I love this series so much! It's been a hell of a time the last two weeks (health issues) so this has been a huge bright spot. Cheers, Simon!

[@BitesizedAudio]

I hope you feel better soon! Best wishes

[@nickybaker1338]

What a delightful palaver! Thank you so much Simon. As seems to be the case with every other member of your channel, my heart leapt with joy & I uttered a quiet "yay!" when I saw the notification of a new story. 🎊

[@tammyhanlon3057]

Yay! Thank you! I can't wait to hear this one.

[@eleanorchapple8772]

Thank you for consistently choosing wonderful books and reading them so well

[@mariameere5807]

Thank you so much Simon! I adore these stories and much better than the radio ones where they changed the character’s! Much better as they were written and you act all parts beautifully! ❤

[@BitesizedAudio]

Thanks Maria, lovely to hear from you. Glad to know you enjoyed it

[@mariannwolf4889]

Thank you Mr. Stanhope, another wonderful story and narration.

Thank you, Simon, and wishing you lots of joy, health and acting roles in the new year! Another old man & Polly story, what more could one ask, truly!! Bless you!! 🤩💙

Thank you so much Simon. From when I first found your channel, your beautiful voice has helped to make my long, insomniac nights so much better. Again, thank you. Much love from NZ ❤ xx

Love this story, thank you dear Simon, another wonderful performance from you!

[@SpuktasticAudio]

Another treat. Danke Schoen, lieber Maestro. ❤️

[@heatherRebekah77]

Thank you so much for this wonderful upload!! Classic mystery stories are always my favorite

[@evelanpatton]

Thank you for continuing your content & keeping it authentic & maintaining your unique format- photos of artists & authentic time period pictures for the posts. It keeps the AI lines very clear & is appreciated!

[@BitesizedAudio]

@evelanpatton Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. Coming back to YT after some time away, I'm rather depressed to see so many AI narrations popping up all over the place. They seem to be taking over more and more, but I personally can't stand listening to them for more than a few minutes (I did try...). Also I have a strong aversion to AI artwork, so I appreciate your comments on the title cards!

[@DruMcConaughy]

So happy to see this!! Thank you Simon, and Happy New Year! You always make things better!

Nice 🙂

[@lisakillz1853]

goodie!

[@Walls2008]

Thank you for not being AI!

[@BitesizedAudio]

Thank YOU for listening, and for caring about that... I deplore the growth of AI narration, I find it unlistenable personally, but I'm sure it's only getting smarter and it's probably getting harder to tell. I notice that there are a few channels popping up these days which purport to be real people, but clearly aren't... if listeners can't tell from the unemotional delivery, then their ability to churn out 60+ hours of the complete stories of Sherlock Holmes within a day or two is something of a giveaway! I can't keep up with that level of output even if I was able to do this full time, but I'll do my best to keep flying the flag for real human voices...

[@Walls2008]

​@@BitesizedAudio Truthfully it is analogous to the difference between excellent, nourishing and locally sourced food, and the worst processed plastic rubbish. Only at a far away glance could they ever be considered similar.

[@caroleastwood9386]

I'm happy toonow😂

[@jojoe4093]

I wish for an author to write a pastiche or two about the string man.

[@BitesizedAudio]

Perhaps you should give it a go!
