Galahad At Blandings
“Its decorous High Street, its lichened church, its red-roofed shops and its age-old inns with their second storeys bulging comfortably over the pavements combine to charm the eye, and this is particularly so if that eye has been accustomed to look daily on Halsey Court, London W.1.
To Sam the place had appealed aesthetically immediately on his arrival, and on the following afternoon, as he sat with pad and pencil in the garden of the Emsworth Arms, he found its spell was being of great assistan...ce to him professionally. It is a fact well known to all authors that there is nothing like a change of scene for stimulating the powers of invention. At Halsey Chambers Sam had had no success as a chronicler of the adventures of Pinky-Poo the kitten, but now he found the stuff simply flowing out. It was not long before he was able to write ‘The End’ with the satisfactory feeling that, provided the editor was not suffering from softening of the brain, always an occupational risk with editors, a cheque from Wee Tots was to all intents and purposes in his pocket.MoreLess
