from this life.

I learnt it for the same object that I learn everything, a sinister and an ulterior abject. I wanted to go on a gilt-edged trip with a most agreeable party of million- aires, and they assured me that un- less I could play bridge my life would be one long bore. And so I learnt bridge. At least, that was my sweet illusion.

The first thing that struck me about it was the curiously sugges- tive nature of its technical terms.
