Excerpt from The Adventure of Living: A Subjective Autobiography Of the great pulse of London which, as a stimulant, nay, an excitant, Of the mind, even Oxford could not rival. For once I had plenty Of leisure to enjoy the thrilling drama Of life - a drama too Often dimmed by the cares, the business, or even the pleasures Of the onlooker. A Bar student is not overworked, and if he is not rich, or socially sought after, he can find, as I did, plenty of time in which to look around him and enjoy the scene. That exhilaration, that luxury Of leisurely circumspection may never return, or only, as happily in my own case, with the grand climacteric. Once more I see and enjoy the gorgeous drama by the Thames. To walk every morning to the Temple or to Lincoln's Inn, where I was reading in Chambers, was a feast. Then there were theatres, balls, dances, dinners, and a thousand Splendid sights to be enjoyed, for I was then, as I have always been and am now, an inde fatigable Sightseer. I would, I confess, to this day go miles to see the least promising of curiosities or antiquities. Who knows? It may be one -of the wonders of the world, ' has always been my order of the day.
