Abstract
Just at the height of Lloyd Morris’s1 party, this humorous personage was to be seen seated in a corner profoundly chatting with the guest we were all proudest of having there with us, namely, Joyce; and one of us wandered over close enough to hear what they were chatting about: St Augustine and St Athanasius and Origen, and other patristic theologians. Presently Joyce was heard to inquire, ‘How, Mr Richards,2 have you happened to be so well read in the Fathers of the Church? ’And Richards answered, ‘I was a priest, ’emphasising the intransitive verb in the past tense somewhat smugly.
Extracted from ‘Memories and Opinions’, Prose, 5 (Fall 1972) 201–2. Editor’s title.
