National Trust custodians of Clouds Hill, the author&#8217;s cottage in Dorset, were amazed when a weather-beaten package from Belgium arrived containing the sleeping bag, along with a sheepish note that read: &#8216;This is yours&#8217;. The bag, embroidered with the word &#8216;tuum&#8217; [&#8216;yours&#8217;], was provided for guests at the cottage, while Lawrence slept on the floor in the other sleeping bag, marked &#8216;meum&#8217; [&#8216;mine&#8217;]. According to Jeremy Wilson, Lawrence&#8217;s biographer, tuum&#8217;s occupants included George Bernard Shaw, E. M. Forster and Robert Graves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>T.E.
