Hut my questions which elicited their charming replies and the little prods I gave to keep the bright stream flowing shall be reduced to their minimum. Q.What of your childhood? A. My childhood, you know, was spent in England where I went at nine years, so that the most definite impressions of my early years are of the London that I try to evoke in the first chapter of 'Tante' - the London of Gilbert and Sullivan operas, Langtry, buns, hansom cabs and fogs; walks with a governess in Rotten Row and frequent visits to the National Gallery and the Old South Kensington Museum.
