I feel that way myself, although I am at present quite fit.' 'I had tea with Wells just two weeks before he died.

Up to forty years ago we believed in the essential decency of man, and we saw the world being run by the decent common man, an intelligent and honest trade unionist. But the adventurers and the carpet-baggers are now Heads of Ministries, and they look like staying.' He feels RL 'should do a personal book. I certainly would want to read it, and I would like to publish it.'. …
