You've probably noticed ttiat
this columna has;taken on a, little
higher- .tone of late. There's a
certain, je• ne sais quoi, a soupcon
of noblesseoblige and a dash of

Let's see.:' When we• ' married,
the Old Girl , and I took a fur-
nished room in the city, close to
the uiniyersity. It was even closer
to the redlight 'district, ;We shar-
ed a 'bathroom with' the . eleven-
teen occupants, of the second•floor,
Every one of these was a baggy=
eyed "slattern ' in a dressing, gown
who spent hours every day fry-
ing opions over a gas' fire on the.
landing just outside the bathroom
door:.. ,
Our .next abode ' was a .three-
room flat in they factory . district.
By* this; time. Bre had a ,year-old
son. Don't ask me how that ' hap-
. It'a long story.: Ilere we
Shared the bathroom with only
the landlady. She was a bit pe-
culiar, but not a bad old skirt.
She had ' a wall : eye, a habit of
-sucking snuff, .and a passion, for
antique furniture. You had to
climb ..over an 'old setteeand low
er -yourself from an ancient china
cabinet to get into the bathtub.
That bathroom brings back
fond memories. Once I was giving
the baby a bath. I had soaped
him, and he was . a$ slippery as
a speckled trout, He eeled out
of my 'grasp, ker whunked his
face on. the, tub's edge, and bel.--
lowed. His mother rushed yin,
snatched hirci, examined, ,hide,
found he'd chipped a tooth; and
promptly tried to break every
bone in my head.
Another time, the same kid
who could just toddle, got into
,the same bathroom, and. managed
:to shoot the bolt, from the inside.
I know it's a classic situation 'and
has happened to others;. But if
you want to know . what hell is
:.like, before you get there, try it.

• Then came the'. great day when
we had a hquse all to. ourselves.
The bathroom :apparently-' had
been installed in honor.of Champ-
lain's first visit. Oh, it worked.
But • you- had' to take. ,the top off
the ' tank and fiddle with the
bulbs every time you flushed the
toilet, .And you had to wash with
your stomach against the . sink,
because the extra weight of the
water would .have torn it right
off the wall;
