A little passage led to the hall, and here one reconnoitered for Ann, the old head-housemaid the younger housemaids were friendly and did not count. Ann located, came a dash across the open space at the foot of that great staircase that has never been properly descended since powder went out of fashion, and so to the saloon door.
I got through quite a number of books before my sacrilegious temerity was discovered by Ann, the old head-housemaid. I remember that among others I tried a translation of Plato's "Republic" then, and found extraordinarily little interest in it; I was much too young for that; but "Vathek" "Vathek" was glorious stuff. That kicking affair! When everybody HAD to kick!
