WITHOUT IN ANY WAY wishing to blow my own trumpet¹, I think that I can claim to being in
most respects a moderately well-matured and rounded individual. I have travelled a good deal. I

greeted a lady with my hands clasped firmly behind my back to avoid the inevitable⁷ handshake.
I could go further than that and say that any sort of physical contact with them, even when the
skin wasn’t bare, would disturb me considerably⁸. If a woman stood close to me in a queue so that
our bodies touched, or if she squeezed in beside me on a bus seat, hip9
