...that wandered unannounced from the turmoil of Watling Street to make her home in his church. At the fourth try the rector interceded. "The cat must stay," he said. "She has chosen our church, and she must remain." Faith took up residence in his rectory. Years of halcyon days followed when Faith would recline in proprietary ease in St. Augustine's carpeted pews, rubbing languorously against the ankles of parishioners dropping in for midday prayer.

Even Warner's happy return was shadowed by finding his roommates estranged, of all things, by a woman...

Well-recommended courses are still being given, but the number in each subject is greatly reduced from the halcyon days of the thick, red-covered catalogue. Anyone following a strictly defined line of study is faced with a paucity of courses which may force him into individual research...
