- "Reminiscences" (1907)
- "A Sketch of the Past" (1939–40)
- "22 Hyde Park Gate" (1920–1)
- "Old Bloomsbury" (1921–2)
- "Am I a Snob?" (1936)
"22 Hyde Park Gate", "Old Bloomsbury" and "Am I a Snob?" were written for the Memoir Club, a group formed in 1920 by Molly MacCarthy which met to present honest autobiographical papers.
