I read the story twice and still didnt really undrestood it

my point of view:

the story is about Lady Ansteys who plagiarized, she mr.Hendersons a close friend of her ideas and made a book out of but later on mr.henderson finds out his idase are all wrong

whats your point of view

irony

Posted by Laura (board editor) on 16:32:59 26/01/06

One of the main themes seems to be social comedy as well: there is so much irony in the fact that JUST when Mrs Henderson decided to meddle and to make her husband's ideas having been plagiarized by Lady A., public, Mr Henderson found out that he had been wrong and thought he had a sweet revenge at Lady A. who would now be publicly denounced for her 'mistakes'. Instead, his wife decision - of course intended to have his talents and ideas acknowledged - would now make him the target of criticism. It's a great unexpected ironic twist.
