        <ptr target="ukred-2305">Once or twice some description of physical pain broke through my detachment: the detailed account of the binding of a young girl"s feet in a missionary book about China, or the evocation of the agony, like walking on a thousand knives, endured by the mermaid who was given human legs. The story of "The Little Mermaid" was in fact one which did make me feel and understand. The hopelessness of a relationship between two people born in different elements was somehow an emotion which I could grasp to the point of distress and one which came back to me in adult life with a sense of complete continuity. But this understanding was almost an aberration.</ptr>
