Answer:
The young man's story shows that he is intelligent, articulate, imaginative, lazy, unscrupulous, temperamental, and probably fairly well educated. He may have even been to Eton and Oxford. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a Sherlock Holmes story about an educated middle-class man who discovered that he could make more money without working than he could by holding a steady job. That story is "The Man with the Twisted Lip." What happens to the young con man in Saki's story shows that he is inexperienced. He lacked the foresight to buy a cake of soap in able to be able to produce it as circumstantial evidence if someone like Gortsby asked to see it. The cake of soap induced Gortsby to lend the stranger a sovereign when Gortsby happened to find it near the park bench. If the stranger had been able to pull a cake of soap out of his pocket when Gortsby referred to it, then Gortsby probably would have lent him the sovereign right then and there. No doubt the young novice con artist will be carrying a cake of soap in the future--and he won't even have to buy one, because Gortsby has given him one as a present.
