Retreat From Love
“I don’t know what. He never receives any mail, and I’ve never known him to send any. Perhaps he is writing a book. Like Chaucer, or that Byron fellow. With my luck it will be Plato’s Republic . I shudder at the thought. He’ll soon have me reading it and discussing its virtues. I leave it to you, dear Anne, to tell him that I was a complete failure at university. I haven’t the heart to disillusion him.
Mr. Matthews is a regular visitor. He would gladly sit and discuss Brett’s epic tome, I’m ...sure. The two are forever lost in conversations about the value of gold or the Socratic Method. It has driven me to drink. None of that now, Anne. That is the excuse I am using.
I think I should like for you to mention Mr. Matthews to Jerome. I know it is a hard thing, Anne, but we shall have to fill the living in Ashton on the Green eventually. I believe that Mr.
Matthews would fit the position quite well. As I’ve told you, darling Anne, he reminds me of the Goode Vicar.MoreLess
