For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely，and I soon developed disagreeing mannerisms which(5)made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginative persons，and (6) I think from the very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with(7)the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing in unpleasant facts，and I felt that this created (8) a sort of private world  which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life (9) Therefore，the volume of serious — i.e. seriously intended — writing which I produced (10)all through my childhood and boyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages.
