Under
such strange conditions it might be asked whether life was not
unendurable. Frankly speaking, I cannot say that I find it so. I
have in London a few bachelor friends who go with me to theaters,
etc. In the suburbs I have about half a dozen family friends.
Here I meet with pleasant society and a hearty welcome. I am
passionately fond of music, have an excellent piano, and can hear
the best concerts in Europe. I go to all good plays. I am a good
chess player. Lastly, I am an omnivorous reader. You will allow
that my resources for passing the time are not limited.
"Of course, I am sorry that I sinned, and wish that I had not
done so. But I disclaim any feeling of shame."
S.W. was the youngest of four children and the only boy. His
father was 40 at his birth, his mother 33. The father was an
intellectual man of weak character, the mother a woman of violent
and eccentric temper, with, he believes, strong sexual passions.
S.W. knows of nothing in the family to account for his own
abnormal condition.
He is short (five feet five inches), but well built, with strong
chest and a powerful voice.
