Нате Вам: HART: I was lucky enough to get into the chambers as a pupil of the busiest junior in the Chancery Division. He had taught very many of the judges. He had a huge practice, and he liked teaching his pupils. And I stayed on there, 6 New Court, Lincoln's Inn, and I devilled 10 for him and a few others for a few months. Then I was lucky. He, for the first time in his life, fell ill, and a large amount of paperwork was spread round the chambers, including to me. That and one other thing started my practice quite early for those days. The other thing was I had a cousin who was a go-ahead solicitor in London who steered work in my direction.
I got a Harmsworth Scholarship to the Middle Temple, and with that and some journalism I held out all right for about two years. And after that I was getting small briefs and conveyancing work and was fairly comfortable. By the time the war came, I had far too much work.
SUGARMAN: You mentioned you did a little journalism? What sort of things were you doing?
HART: Well, it was very, very small. Literary stuff. I was keen on literature. There was, for example, a periodical called John O'London's Weekly which did rather good reviews, and I sent in reviews and got taken on and did quite a number. Or, I wrote about travel. I just did it on spec. Nothing very big. With that, and with my scholarship from Middle Temple, and with the briefs coming in, largely on originating summonses and the construction of wills and documents. Кстати, Mumma, как Вы догадались?
