  I was the middle child of three but there was a gap of five years on either side and I hardly saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons and I think from the very start my literary ambitions(文学志向) were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated(孤独) and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.

  However the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had “chair—like teeth” — a good enough expression. At eleven when the war of 1914—18 broke out I wrote a poem which was printed in the local(地方的) newspaper as was another two years later on the death of Kitchener. From time to time when I was a bit older I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nature poems”. I also about twice attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would—be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.

    Jean burst out laughing.   
       "What's so funny?" asked Barbara.     Finally, Jean managed to say, "Oh, Barbara, I didn't mean for you   to freeze the film. I just wanted you to hold it for me!"
