Nur die Kirche putzte ich nach wie vor, und ich war unheimlich stolz auf diese selbstauferlegte Buße.
In the course of this self-imposed pennance I naturally got to know Lionel Lawson quite well and as I say it was to him that I went for help and advice when I could no longer cope with our financial crisis. I had one of the great surprises of my life when he told me that if all I was worrying about was money I could and should forget my worries immediately.
