On penserait à la vie militaire si l'on n'avait pas connu aussi aux premières années de ce siècle la vie d'un élève interne dans un lycée de préfecture française. Tout ce qu'évoque le mot « caserne » c'est là que je l'ai connu à 10 ans au lycée Pothier rue Jeanne d'Arc : un juriste une rue noble et froide droite et raide comme la justice tirée d'un rigoureux cordeau entre la rue Royale et la cathédrale Sainte-Croix. J'y ai pour consolation le goût très vif de la camaraderie et le prodigieux trésor qu'est la lecture » qui lui ouvre un autre univers.

Bomanji here recalls Kipling coming into the modelling studio at the J.J. School of Art and inventing 'childish romances around the models of nymphs gnomes and gargoyles'. He was the inspiration for the Just So Story 'How the Rhinoceros got his Wrinkly Skin' in which a rhinoceros steals a cake from a Parsi 'from whose hat the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental splendour' and lives to regret it hence the mention in his recollection here: 'I never remember giving Rudyard a cake .'.
