What is the style of the short story dusk by saki?

A brillant satirist, Saki is true to his inimitable style
of ironic deception and clever dialogue that reveals his unsentimental depiction of life
in his comedy of manners, "Dusk."  Ridiculing the pretentious Gortsby, who considers
himself socially superior to the other "defeated" who sit in the "gloaming hour" of
twilight at the park, Saki proves him the dupe of a colossal liar through the skillful
use or irony and subtle diction such as this example in which the young man concludes
his story,

He
threw a good deal of warmth into the last remark, as though perhaps to indicate his hope
that Gortsby did not fall far short of the requisite
decency.

While Norman Gortsby
congratulates himself on finding the logical flaw the young man's tale of woe--the soap
he has supposedly purchased is missing--he himself ironically becomes the victim of his
own flawed logic as he assumes that the soap under the bench where the young man has sat
belongs to him.  The startling ending in which the older gentleman returns for his cake
of soap after Gortsby has chastised himself for being "too clever" reveals the deception
of his own mind to Gortsby.  Now, Norman Gortsby, ironically, can count himself among
the defeated as he has become the victim of the young man's
scam.

Subtle diction, adroit dialogue, irony, and an
unsentimental and satiric point of view are all characteristic of the style of
Saki.
