Synopsis
Excerpt from Friends and Memories
A short time ago, during one of my periodical visits to London, a friend asked me if I had never thought of writing my memoirs. I was very much astonished, for it had never occurred to me that anyone would care to read anything I had to say about myself and my extremely erratic life. And I couldn't help thinking of a little story that had just been told to me by the landlady of the rooms where I was staying. She was one of the kindest and nicest women I ever came across, and was often extremely amusing. This was her story.
