It's as big as as big as God!" When I took her to her first theater it was Sanger's Circus and the clown pretended to fall from the tightrope, and the drum went bang! she said: "Take me away! take me away! you ought never to have brought me here!" No wonder she was considered a dour child! I immediately and humbly obeyed. It was truly the simple life we led in Hertfordshire.
