me awake when
the time comes to "turn in."

I am very fond of sport, and delight in boxing, fencing, swimming,
riding, yachting, and even kite-flying. Although primarily of the city,
I like to be near it rather than in it. The country, though, is the
best, the only natural life. In my grown-up years the writers who have
influenced me most are Karl Marx in a particular, and Spencer in a
general, way. In the days of my barren boyhood, if I had had a chance, I
would have gone in for music; now, in what are more genuinely the days of
my youth, if I had a million or two I would devote myself to writing
poetry and pamphlets. I think the best work I have done is in the
"League of the Old Men," and parts of "The Kempton-Wace Letters." Other
people don't like the former. They prefer brighter and more cheerful
things. Perhaps I shall feel like that, too, when the days of my youth
are behind me.
