So I became a school-teacher, and went down to Croydon, London, to teach
boys in an elementary school, at ninety pounds a year. I hated it: I am
no teacher. I wrote in the evenings, but never looked on myself as a
writer. There was a burning sort of pleasure in writing: and Miriam
loved everything I wrote. I never showed anything to my mother. She
would have had an amused feeling about it all, and have felt sceptical.
To this day, my family is annoyed that I write unpleasant books that
nobody really wants to read: certainly they don’t, although they work
through them, I suppose, because they still “love” me so dearly: me, the
brother Bertie, not the embarrassing D. H. Lawrence.
