On Sunday nights the place became a salon. Many now think of Hooton as a guru.
People dropped into Harry's place from all sorts of bohemia ... The best thing about Harry was that he was so bloody entertaining, he was a very funny talker. And that's why you don't like to think of guru because guru implies earnestness, seriousness, and Harry wasn't like that at all. He didn't do anything like plug the line, people didn't sit at his feet adoringly - conversations were two way, they were arguments, they were good-natured arguments, and they were always funny arguments if Harry had anything to do with them. Because he was a very funny talker, and a very gentle person who wrote like an iconoclast
