'When I left my home for the first time, I suddenly passed out of the excitements of my Windsor life into the school-boy's ordinary abstraction from the outer world. I heard nothing of the stir of the great Babel, though I was within seven miles of Hyde Park Corner. The newspaper I now very rarely saw, instead of regularly reading our "Globe" aloud; for of that evening journal my father was then a shareholder.'
