I wake at about seven o'clock and then it is time for me to get up. I like a cold shower every morning, so I put on my dressing-gown and slippers and go to the bathroom. The water feels very cold on winter mornings, but I rub myself hard with the towel and soon I feel quite warm. Then I shave, brush my teeth, wash my face and go back to the bedroom to dress. I brush and comb my hair, take a clean handkerchief out of the drawer and have breakfast at a quarter past eight. After breakfast I sit and read my morning paper. If the weather is fine, I usually walk to my office. At nine o'clock the day's work begins. At twelve-thirty I have a break for lunch. I generally finish my work about six o'clock. Then I have a cup of tea and a biscuit, and in summer I spend an hour or so out-of-doors, play a few games of tennis or volley-ball. We have supper about seven-thirty or eight o'clock and then we sit and talk, or listen to the wireless. Often in summer we take out the car and go for a run in the country; in winter we go to the cinema or the theatre. But that is not often. I have a lot of work to do, and usually after supper I read or write until twelve or one o'clock.
