The
publishers
persuaded
me
that
it
would
be
so
much
better
for
publicity
.
From
their
point
of
view
they
were
right
.
I
became
quite
notorious
for
a
hit
—
it
used
to
make
me
giggle
inside
when
I
saw
people
looking
speculatively
at
me
in
restaurants
and
places
—
they
seemed
to
find
it
so
hard
to
tie
up
what
they
saw
with
what
they
thought
.
Lots
of
people
I
didn
’
t
care
for
took
to
tinning
up
regularly
at
the
apartment
,
so
to
get
rid
of
them
,
and
because
I
’
d
proved
that
I
didn
’
t
have
to
go
home
,
I
went
home
again
.
"
The
book
rather
spoiled
things
,
though
.
People
would
be
so
literal
-
minded
about
that
title
.
I
seem
to
have
been
keeping
up
a
permanent
defensive
ever
since
against
people
I
don
’
t
like
—
and
those
I
wanted
to
like
were
either
scared
or
shocked
.
What
’
s
so
annoying
is
that
it
wasn
’
t
even
a
wicked
book
—
it
was
just
silly
-
shocking
,
and
sensible
people
ought
to
have
seen
that
.
"
She
paused
contemplatively
.
It
occurred
to
rue
that
the
sensible
people
had
probably
decided
that
the
author
of
Sex
Is
My
Adventure
would
be
silly
-
shocking
too
,
but
I
forebore
to
suggest
it
.
We
all
have
our
youthful
follies
,
embarrassing
to
recall
—
but
people
somehow
find
it
hard
to
dismiss
as
a
youthful
folly
anything
that
has
happened
to
be
a
financial
success
.
"
It
sort
of
twisted
everything
,
"
she
complained
.
"
I
was
writing
another
book
to
try
to
balance
things
up
again
.
But
I
’
m
glad
I
’
ll
never
finish
it
—
it
was
rather
bitter
.
"
"
With
an
equally
alarming
title
?
"
I
asked
.
She
shook
her
head
.
"
It
was
to
be
called
Here
the
Forsaken
.
"
"
H
’
m
—
well
,
it
certainly
lacks
the
snap
of
the
other
,
"
I
said
.
"
Quotation
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
She
nodded
.
"
Mr
.
Congreve
:
‘
Here
the
forsaken
Virgin
rests
from
Love
.
’
"
"
Er
—
oh
,
"
I
said
,
and
thought
that
one
over
for
a
bit
.
"
And
now
,
"
I
suggested
,
"
I
think
it
’
s
about
time
we
began
to
rough
out
a
plan
of
campaign
.
Shall
I
throw
around
a
few
observations
first
?
