kind of world through the turn of the century-- as far into the twentieth century as you might live. I decided to make myself a good case history of such a human being and it meant that Icould not be thejudge of what was valid to put in or not. I must put everything in, so I started a very rigorous record.
“There were times when if I recieved a bill twenty times l didn’t have to put it in twenty times, just two or three – and then I would put in the letter from the lawyer concerning the case. I found that the language of lawyers about overdue bills was very interesting. I think it has changed as the years have gone on. I have kept the record faithfully, and there are now about 500 volumes. I am quite certain, looking at it, that it has made it possible for me to see myself, and to see myself very objectively.”
