A Play of Treachery
“Joliffe had thought before now that giving holidays on holy days was the surest way to have people remember saints with thankfulness, and although he was not able to make out this saint’s name, he did give grateful thanks when he was able to slip away unnoted from the hôtel after the mid-day meal, not having need to make excuse for his going or refuse anyone’s company as he went.
