Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Botor Chaperon Sometimes I think that having a bath is the nicest part of the day, especially if you take too long over it, when you ought to be hurrying. Phyllis and I (Phil is my step-sister, though she is the most English creature alive) have no proper bathroom in our flat. What can you expect for forty pounds a year, even at Clapham? But we have a fitted-up arrangement in the boxroom, and it has never exploded yet. Phyllis allows herself ten minutes for her bath every morning, just as she allows herself five minutes for her prayers, six to do her hair, and four for everything else, except when she wears laced-up boots; but then, she has principles, and I have none; at least, I have no maxims. And this morning, just because there were lots of things to do, I was luxuriating in the tub, thinking cool, delicious thoughts. As a general rule, when you paint glorious pictures for yourself of your future as you would like it to be, it clouds your existence with grey afterwards, because the reality is duller by contrast; but it was different this morning. I had stopped awake all night thinking the same things, and I was no more tired of the thoughts now than when I first began.
