Lawrence in Bandol

Abstract

One afternoon early in January 1929, while walking toward the railway station on the slopes above Bandol, I heard quick steps of approach and, looking up from the red earth of the roadside, saw a blonde woman and a red-bearded man in a faded sky-blue jacket striding rapidly towards me. The man was slender and slightly stooped, lithe and easy in motion. There was a country looseness in his figure and clothing. As they passed, I caught the glance of his clear blue eyes, and I thought, though the photographs had suggested dark hair and beard, this may be Lawrence.
