CHAPTER THIRTEEN
16/41

We've only got to be natural.

We wear our natural clothes, and talk English, and sport a Teddy Roosevelt smile, and there isn't any call for theatrical talent.
Where I've found the job tight was when I had got to be natural, and my naturalness was the same brand as that of everybody round about, and all the time I had to do unnatural things.

It isn't easy to be going down town to business and taking cocktails with Mr Carl Rosenheim, and next hour being engaged trying to blow Mr Rosenheim's friends sky--high.

And it isn't easy to keep up a part which is clean outside your ordinary life.

I've never tried that.
