James Ernest Hodder-Williams : Like English Gentlemen

'In the evenings we have cosy suppers in the drawing-room, with little tables in front of the fire. Sometimes we work, sometimes read and talk. The other night Mrs. [McKendrick] read to us Like English Gentlemen, the story of Scott's expedition as told to his little son. Last Sunday we had a great evening with Newbolt's poems, which I introduced them to. They seem finer every time one reads them.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Robert Dunlop Smith      Print: Book
