"I remember how when I was a kid, Father once said to me, Do you like little girls better than little boys, or little boys better than little girls? I hesitated for a bit and then said, I think I like little boys better. You ought to like little girls better, said Father. Perhaps I do like little girls better, I said. Now The Battle of the Somme film was thrilling me to the marrow, but there was another fierce battle waging in my head - between my ideal girl and my ideal boy. Vera or Ingelton? Which? I said goodbye to them undecided and still am."
