My first dinner with the family was a rather upsetting experience. The number of sons and daughters was almost beyond computation, and all the children were to my unpractised eyes exactly alike except in the somewhat superficial point that some were male and some were female. The family were not all assembled when I arrived, but dropped in one by one at intervals of twenty minutes. (One of them, I afterwards discovered, was Lytton.) I had to look round the room carefully to make sure that it was a new one that had appeared and not merely one of the previous ones that had changed his or her place.

<寸言>
リットン・ストレイチー( Lytton Strachey, 1880- 1932)は、『ヴィクトリア朝偉人伝』 (みすず書房刊)や『ヴィクトリア女王伝』(筑摩書房)などで有名なイギリスの伝記作家です。ヴァージニア・ウルフやJ.M.ケインズなどとともにブルームズベリー・グループの主要メンバーでした。ラッセルはブルームズベリー・グループのメンバーではないですが、グループのパトロン的な存在であるオットリン・モレル夫人(一時期、ラッセルと恋愛関係)との関係もあり、グループのメンバーとかなりの交流がありました。
