Do you miss me? I am having a very nice time and I hope you are glad of that. At the moment I am dead drunk. I had five pints in the Fishmongers Arms tonight, followed by three double scotches, and literally rolled home.
When I say home I can assure you that my room is extremely pleasent. So is the bathroom. Extremely pleasent. I have some very pleasent baths indeed in the bathroom. So does everybody else in the house. They all lay quite naked in the bath and have very pleasent baths indeed. All the people in the house go about saying what a superb bath and bathroom the one we share is, they go about telling literally everyone they meet what lovely baths you can get in this place more or less unparalleled, to put it bluntly.
When I said I was drunk I was of course making a joke.
I bet you laughed .
Mother? I like being in this enormous city all by myself. I expect to make friends in the not too distant future.
I expect to make girlfriends too.
I expect to meet a very nice girl. Having met her. I shall bring her home to meet my mother.
Like walking an this enormous city all by myself. It’s fun to know no-one at all. When I pass people in the street they don’t realise that I don’t know them from Adam. They know other people and even more other people know them, so they naturally think that even if I don’t know them I know the other people.
You see, mother, I am not lonely because all that has ever happened to me is %aft me, keeps me company; my childhood, for example, through which you, my mother, and he, my father, guided me.
I get on very well with my landlady, Mrs Withers. She tells me I am her solace. Sometimes she gives me a cuddle, as if she were my mother.
Hut I haven’t forgotten that I have a mother and that you are my mother.
