'"...Yes, Almeric writes that all is well with them. To us it can only be well in a certain sense. We do not identify ourselves with their course."
"It is a pity you cannot have them to stay : I see it is hardly possible."
"I know you do feel it a pity. But it is not in the question in your father's lifetime."
"We could tell you when he is going away, to save you the tedium of waiting for his death."'
from A House and Its Head by I. Compton-Burnett (Chapter XVI)
