<h2>INTRODUCTION BY MR. POOTER</h2>
<p><i>Why should I not publish my diary</i>? <i>I have
often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard
of</i>, <i>and I fail to see</i>—<i>because I do not happen
to be a</i> ‘<i>Somebody</i>’—<i>why my diary
should not be interesting</i>. <i>My only regret is that I
did not commence it when I was a youth</i>.</p>
