Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Snow was falling ... and there was no chance of getting out to the terrace, so that the rest of the day had to be devoted to Poker and Bridge, games of which we were all heartily sick. Reading was difficult on account of the ceaseless noise kept up by Gollywog [a French officer prisoner] and his merry men [playing chess].'
