Annotated text:
I was a little consoled for the weeping weather
by the fact that Gainsborough had gone out
to-day. And, now I came to think of it, Henry
had also gone to-day ; poor Henry, who had
stayed uncomfortably after his meeting with
Clment yesterday. Henceforth I ask not good
fortune, I myself am good fortune, I changed.
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no
more, need nothing, done with indoor
complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms. But
that would be scanned. Or rather it wouldnt. It
didnt seem to fit. I had woken that morning
pleasantly near the sea, at yesterdays capricious
place of appointment with the man who gave
me my instructions and all I wanted beside. Did
Wodehouse know it, I wondered. Of its Earl he
had said that he stood gazing out over his
domain, drooping like a wet sock, as was his
habit when he had nothing to prop his spine
against. All I wanted beside, I had thought.
Hadnt Chesterton said something about its
being hemp at both ends? My job might prove
him right.
