>>10839377
OK well my best guess is this, but I might be wrong--

I think that in early modern English -self pronouns were not used as reflexive pronouns but were used instead for emphasis. So he's being intentionally archaic.

So in contemporary English (I'm including Somerset Maugham's time in that), reflexive pronouns cannot be the subject of an embedded clause. However, he is not using "himself" as a reflexive here, but instead he is using it in an archaic fashion as an emphatic form of "he"
