Quotes by Hazel Holt (?)

“I have been reading a delightful, though perhaps rather bitchy new book by Fr. Stephenson about Walsingham and Fr. H.P. There is a vignette of H.P. instructing the Sunday school children on what to do when confronted with an unbaptized person dying in a railway carriage.”
― Hazel Holt

“I do not believe,’ Fitz said meditatively, ‘that I remember any more what my true nature is.’ ‘Perhaps we are only truly ourselves in our extreme youth,’ Bill suggested, ‘and become less ourselves as we react to other people.”
― Hazel Holt, The Cruellest Month
