Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Le Havre, though undamaged by war, was stark and gloomy to march through ... "We are quite near Agincourt", I wrote dutifully to my old history master at school, feeling as far from the thin skin of my patriotism as I could be. "This quarrel honourable" -- of course we all "did" Henry V -- seemed to be some quirk in Shakespeare rather than anything stable in the English character.'
