Saki

 

When one lives among greyhounds,
one should avoid giving life-like imitations of a rabbit.

The Chronicles of Clovis

The Complete Clovis
Hector Hugh Munro was a historian, political satirist and author of short stories, novels and plays. His pen-name Saki was taken from the Sufi poet Hafiz, who addressed several of his verses to a saki, or cupbearer.  His character of Clovis Sangrail is one of the most wholly remarkable creations in all of fiction. He is not so much a cliché as an archetype. (anonymous on internet)
