It was now or never. I must face it now, or pack up and go back home. I wandered about for an hour looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a go. I felt nervous and shaky. It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains roaring overhead, that I was about to declare myself.

The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a hoarse declaration of war, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. To my surprise, I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man, without stopping, stealthily threw a penny into my hat as though to get rid of some guilty evidence. Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It was as though the note of the violin touched some subconscious nerve-like a babys cry that had to be answered. When Id finished the first tune there was a shilling in my hat; it seemed too easy, like a confidence trick.

The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had ceased to be important for defence. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastilles workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed carriages. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the Kings letter could set him free. Over the years the number
