"Kecksies," by Marjorie Bowen
In Regent Magazine, January 1925 (presumably no relation to the current fashion mag); collected in The Last Bouquet: Some Twilight Tales (John Lane, 1933) and in Kecksies and Other Twilight Tales (1976); read well by Jasper L'Estrange for an episode of EnCrypted, April 16th, 2024
Several thousand words?
The cups-and-balls shuffle of bodies confused me a little, but I liked the atmosphere and the awfulness of the two boorish men.
