Excerpt from Margot Asquith, Vol. 1 of 2: An Autobiography When I began this book I feared that its merit would depend upon how faithfully I could record my own impressions Of people and events: when I had finished it I was certain of it. Had it been any other kind of book the judgment Of those near est me would have been invaluable, but, being what it is, it had to be entirely my own; since whoever writes as he Speaks must take the whole responsibil ity, and to ask Do you think I may say this? Or write that? Is to shift a little of that responsibility on to someone else. This I could not bear to do, above all in the case of my husband, who sees these recollections for the first time now. My only liter ary asset is natural directness, and that faculty would have been paralysed if I thought anything that I have written here would implicate him. I would rather have made a hundred blunders of style or discretion than seem, even to myself, let alone the world at large, to have done that.
