Mr. Holmes is a very remarkable man, there may still be a small chance for men less remarkable. He. will look round upon his coevals and his-schoolfellows and see quite a large number who, unaware of the awful state in which they must really have been, have lived useful and happy lives. And he may begin to suspect that childhood in that much-abused era was not quite so full of terror and pain and un- generous emulation as it appears. to some who look back upon it. He may remember, indeed, a governess who smacked his head, and prefects who beat him on the shoulders, and All sorts of people, from head- masters to his intimate friends, who chastised him in various ways else where. He may remember being often told by a stern and punitive parent how lucky, he was not to have beer born a generation earlier, when beatings really were beatings, He may remember winning a prize and being kicked for a little squirt, or losing a prize and wanting to kick the boy who won it. And still amid all these dangers and sufferings he may find-without self-deception or any delusive gropings after an- amnosis shadowy. recollections of what he is now taught to believe that the regime deliberately. and of
