In the summer of nineteen-thirteen Judge Lawton and Aileen overcame all protests and took her with them to Europe, where, after a month in Paris, she visited Olive de Morsigny in her renaissance chateau on the Loire.
There with a most decided look of being up to something. Jevons didn't seem to mind him. You might have said that Charlie was another of the risks he took. In nineteen-thirteen Jimmy bought a motor-car. He was more excited about his motor-car than he had been about his house any of his houses. Even Viola was interested and came rushing down from her Belfry when it arrived.
And in nineteen-thirteen, when both his plays were still running, even his father-in-law said that he was a disgusting spectacle. Sometimes I have thought that Viola's detachment helped his undoing. She wasn't there to pull him up or to cover his disasters; she had more and more the look of not being there at all. And Charlie Thesiger was always there.
He said he'd have to be careful next time or they'd find him out. Once he had settled the affair of the house he would set to work and strengthen the position which, after all, he hadn't lost. He had gained, if anything. Nineteen-thirteen stands as his year of maximum prosperity.
I knew the rightness of the books, the relation of high thinking to high-conduct, the transmutation of midnight thought into action in the high place on the poop of a coal- carrier in the year nineteen-thirteen, my woman beside me, my ancestors behind me, my slant-eyed servitors under me, the beasts beneath me and beneath the heel of me. God! I felt kingly. I knew at last the meaning of kingship.
It may be nineteen-thirteen mutiny on a coal-carrier, with feeblings and imbeciles and criminals for mutineers; but at any rate mutiny it is, and at least in the number of deaths it is reminiscent of the old days. For things have happened since last I had opportunity to write up this log. For that matter, I am now the keeper of the Elsinore's official log as well, in which work Margaret helps me.
She had been running down gradually for about two years, getting a little whiter and a little slenderer every month, and in the first week of February she got influenza and ignored it, and went out for a drive in the motor-car with a temperature of a hundred and four. Nineteen-thirteen stands out for me as the year of Viola's illness.
And you cannot be immersed and wallow in it as he wallowed without corruption. There's no doubt that for the next, two three four years he wallowed. He was so deep in that, even after Viola's illness that came in nineteen-thirteen and purged him somewhat, he continued to wallow. And we had to stand by while he was doing it and pretend that we weren't shocked.
In nineteen-thirteen Michael Harrison was the most promising of the revolutionary young men who surrounded Lawrence Stephen, and his poems were beginning to appear, one after another, in the Green Review.
He never says much, but it's whispered round the clubs that he thinks a lot. It was rumoured in the spring of nineteen-thirteen that Squiffy was on the point of making a bright remark, but it never came to anything." Mr. Brewster struggled with his feelings. "Who is he? You seem to know him." "Oh yes. Great pal of mine, Squiffy. We went through Eton, Oxford, and the Bankruptcy Court together.
