        <ptr target="ukred-13964">"I suffered very much in that shop through all the summer months.  At that time we went to live at Malmaison and it was heartrending to think of George and Alfred [reader"s brothers] playing Scouts and Indians in the park there whilst I sat hidden away in a musty corner behind the cash desk, in semi darkness near the hot irons, crouched on a small stool for days on end in the ?dead season? with nothing to do.  Outside the rue Castiglione flamed in broiling sun.  I spent the time reading so called ?penny dreadfuls?: Deadwood Dick, Buffalo Bill and others.  In my murky corner I lived many perilous adventures and many hair-raising escapes. 
I was the hero and so forgot to grow lachrymal.  This was the beginning of my literary education and my first taste for books.  My crowning moment was when I succeeded in winning a Sunday school first prize, R. L. Stevenson?s ?Treasure Island?".
