harmons:

an education:

“So, I went to read english books and did my best to avoid a specky spotty fate that Helen had predicted for me. I probably looked as wide eyed, fresh and artless as any other student but I wasn’t. One of the boys I went out with, and they really were boys, once asked me to go to Paris with him and I told him ‘I’d love to’, I was dying to see Paris, as if I’d never been”
