Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'After the examination, when we were expected to feel free as hares, we all flopped with reaction. There seemed just nothing that we wanted to do. There were no lessons, and we spent most of the time reading whatever we liked. It happened that my father had picked up at the stationer's a sixpenny copy of Wells's "Kipps" and I began to chuckle over this, as we sat in class.'
