HEY MATE,HERE'S YOUR ANSWER.
Saki was a Tory and somewhat reactionary in his views. This information is helpful in understanding his story "Dusk" and his characterization of Norman Gortsby. Norman is a young man and has a lot to learn about human nature and reality. He is quite an observer of humanity but has not yet digested what he has observed. Saki uses this young, naive viewpoint character to dramatize his thesis, which has a "Tory" and a "somewhat reactionary" foundation. Gortsby's sentiments about suffering humanity change from indifference to sympathy and back to indifference, if not antipathy--all as a result of his experience in the gathering darkness.
When the story opens, Gortsby is observing Men and women, who had fought and lost, who hid their fallen fortunes and dead hopes as far as possible from the scrutiny of the curious.He had failed in a more subtle ambition, and for the moment he was heartsore and disillusioned, and not disinclined to take a certain cynical pleasure in observinig and labelling his fellow wanderers as they went their ways in the dark stretches between the lamp-lights.
