“I have been reading a delightful, though perhaps rather bitchy new book by Fr. Stephenson about Walsingham and Fr. H.P. There is a vignette of H.P. instructing the Sunday school children on what to do when confronted with an unbaptized person dying in a railway carriage.”
Hazel Holt

“I do not believe,’ Fitz said meditatively, ‘that I remember any more what my true nature is.’ ‘Perhaps we are only truly ourselves in our extreme youth,’ Bill suggested, ‘and become less ourselves as we react to other people.”
Hazel Holt, The Cruellest Month
