Does he feel that there is truth in Lord Esher's indictment. He does not. But he may dislike the idea of middle age all the same Well, then, brothers, what is our
attitude to be?
We can no longer hurn the candle at both ends: we cannot yet claim the most comfortable corner of the freside. What Armour for fortitude, then, shall we put on? Do not let us warm ourselves with specious sonsolations-such as the reflec tion that Hobba began the study of mathematics, and William de Morgan the business of novel-writing, round about the age of seventy; that, in short, there's life in the middle-aged dog ret.
