Peter Fleming was a famous English traveler, explorer and adventurer, whose non-fiction books were hugely successful. My father owned signed copies of all of them — he and Peter Fleming had become acquainted over some detail of set design at the Korda film studio in Shepperton — and I had read each of them with breathless adolescent excitement.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here!...Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures...Joy in looking and comprehending...When I look in the mirror I see the girl I was...The Town Clerkship, however, was the means of giving...Live as though it were your last day on earth...
