Becker had one occasional anxiety: the suspicion that he owned more than would fit comfortably into the case. The feeling, when it came, was the signal for him to throw something away or just leave it lying about. This was the automatic fate of his worn-out clothes for example. Having no use for choice or variety, he kept just a raincoat, a suit, a pair of shoes and a few shirts, socks and so on, no more in the clothing line. He bought and read many books, and left them wherever he happened to be sitting when he finished them. They quickly found new owners.
Becker was a professional traveler, interested and interesting. He was not one to "do" a country in a week or a city in three days. He liked to get the feel of a place by living in it, reading its newspapers, watching its TV and discussing its affairs. He always tried to make a few friends, if necessary even by stopping a suitable-looking person in the street and talking to him. It worked well in about one case in ten. Though Becker’s health gave him no cause for alarm, he made a point of seeing a doctor as soon as he arrived anywhere. "A doctor knows a place and its people better than anyone," he used to say. He never went to see a doctor, he always sent for one, that, he found, was the quickest way to gain confidences, which came out freely as soon as he mentioned that he was a writer.
Becker was an artist as well. He painted pictures of his places and, when he had gathered enough information, he wrote about them. He sold his work, through an agent, to newspapers and magazines. It was an agreeable sort of life for a good social mixer, lived nearly always in fine weather, and as Becker never stayed anywhere for long, he enjoyed the satisfying advantage of paying very little in tax. [br] How did Becker feel about taxation?
