Hunter Tremayne: Mr. Keble

Quotes 

• Florence Green : What else do people think the old house could be used for? Why have they done nothing about it in the past seven years? There were birds nesting in it. Half the tiles were off the roof and it stank of rats. Wouldn't it be better to fill the place with books for people to look at?

  Mr. Keble : I read before going to sleep, and usually drift off to the Land of Nod by about the third page.

  Florence Green : So you see? Don't you realize how useful books can be?
