Abstract
The most appropriate starting point might have been a discussion of Galsworthy’s health and constitution, but very little direct information is available. When one enjoys good health, as he did, there is nothing to say; and, anyway, in the circles in which he moved, it was not ‘done’. At most, people might mention taking the waters at some fashionable spa.
