插图：The little theatre grew and became quite celebrated in the neighbourhood. Later on this gave us the idea of making a tournde on the coast. I danced, Augustin recited poems, and afterwards we acted a comedy in which Elizabeth and Raymond also took part. Although I was only twelve years old at the time, and the others still in their teens, these tournes down the coast at Santa Clara, Santa Rosa, Santa Barbara, and so forth, were very successful.The dominant note of my childhood was the constant spirit of revolt against the narrowness of the society in which we lived, against the limitations of life and a growing desire to fly eastward to something I imagined might be broader. How often I remember haranguing the family and my relations, and always ending with, "We must leave this place; we shall never be able to accomplish anything here."Of all the family I was the most courageous, and, when there was absolutely nothing to eat in the house, I was the volunteer who went to the butcher and through my wiles induced him to give me mutton chops without payment. I was the one sent to the baker to entice him to continue credit. I took a real adventurous pleasure in these excursions, especially when I was successful, as I generally was. I used to dance all the way home with joy, bearing the spoils and feeling like a highwayman.
