Miggy, Hilly and Wimpy |
|
|
I enrolled at a chaotic crammer in Notting Hill, and went back to cruising all day and playing Scrabble all night. "Do they sleep with these girls?" my aunt Miggy, visiting, asked my mother. "No," said Hilly. Well, [my brother] Philip did, and I didn't. Then after an aeon of petting and pleading I suddenly lost my virginity to a girl I met in a Wimpy Bar earlier the same day. I was fifteen. My amatory career was launched. (London, 1964)
