I've decided that this book is so mysticly difficult to grasp (as a reader) that I'd better read it again, immediately after finishing it. So now, I find I must share this quote too:
"Nature's so terribly good. Don't you think so, Mr. Stanhope?" ….
He turned his head and answered, "That Nature is terribly good? Yes, Miss Fox. You do mean 'terribly'?"
"Why, certainly," Miss Fox said. "Terribly--dreadfully--very."
"Yes," Stanhope said again. "Very. Only--you must forgive me; it comes from doing so much writing, but when I say 'terribly' I think I mean 'full of terror'. A dreadful goodness."
