I first went to Harrow in the summer term.
The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to
come up behind a naked boy, and push him out the pool. I made quite a habit of
this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I
saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I
was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him
in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet. I was surprised to
see an angry face come out from the water, and being of great strength making
its way by face strokes (猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but didn't succeed. He overtook me, pulled
me hard, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on
the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.
"Do you know what you have done?" They said. "It's Amery: he is
in Grade Six. He is champion at gym. He has won his football award."
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How
could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small. He
didn't seem pleased at all. So I added in a most brilliant word." My
father, who is a great man, is also small. "At this he laughed, and after
some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in
the future, expressed all was over.
