 T have four more years to serve, ' he said, then I shall retire to my cottage. l intend to write, but probably won't make much out of it. I shall make what I need by translating. All I want is three pounds ($15) week, which I have saved already, and one pound ($5) additional, for little luxuries. It is far too much trouble to work for more."
 Before becoming Lawrence of Arabia" he was an archeologist. He is an expert linguist. and his knowl- edge of Arabian dialects was re- sponsible for much of his success in the desert during the war. But he scoffed at stories saying that he was many times mistaken for an Arab"
 T never tried to pass for one.' he said. "On the contrary. my game was to be spotted a mile away as Lawrence. In those days I lived on my reputation. I succeeded by being the only smooth-shaven Eu- ropean in Arab dress in the entire desert."
 Thus I left him. the "contented' aircraftsman, assigned to whatever work his superiors deterine he should do, from typing letters to repairing machines. living as a pri- vate, accepting what comes his way, and taking his amusement in long motorcycle rides or trips in his speedboat. His spare money - from an occasional bit of translation goes for music. classical music played on a gramophone.
 Beyond that he asks for nothing.
