I first went to Harrow in the summer term.  The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen.  It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of  this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool.  He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him  a fair game.  Coming secretly behind ,I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. “Do you know what you have done?”they said,“It’s Amery;  he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym ,he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed.  How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small. ”He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,“My father, who is a great man, is also small. ”At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.
