My experience with women has been, I dare say, considerable and varied; I’ve had them fighting to get at me and running for dear life to escape, all ages, shapes and colours, in beds, haylofts, thickets, drawing rooms, palaces, hovels, snowdrifts (that was in Russia, in the cold spell), baths, billiard rooms, cellars, camps, covered wagons, and even in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, which is probably a record of some sort. I’ve sometimes regretted that the flying machine was invented so late in my life, but things move so fast nowadays it’s difficult to keep pace.
