indecent little victory that I was furtively celebrating. I guessed that that had put Brideshead some considerable way further from his rightful inheritance. In that I, was correct; a man was sent for from the solicitors in London; in a day or two he came and it was known throughout the house that Lord Marchmain had made a new will. But I was wrong in thinking that the religious controversy was quashed; it flamed up again after dinner on Brideshead’s last evening.
‘...What papa said was, “I am not in extremis, I have not been a practising member of the Church for twenty-five years.” ‘
‘Not “the Church”, “your Church”.’

‘There’s every difference.’
‘Bridey, it’s quite plain what he meant.’
