Munro, Munro develops the idea that regardless of conflicting opinions, occasionally we are forced into a situation where it becomes difficult to continue to let differences prevent you from tolerating those who you truly need.

Saki uses the significant relationship between Ulrich and Georg to teach the reader an important lesson. Life and human nature can be a funny thing,
