Peter Pendragon. A
composite figure, but mostly imagined—i.e. he is
my idea of a fairly common type. The worst
elements are drawn accurately from one
Cecil Maitland, son of the Revd. Maitland (of a junior
branch of the family of the Earls of
Lauderdale), a renegade Romish priest notorious
in the 'Oxford Movement'.
Last line. Family affairs
imaginary, invented for the convenience of
explaining his social and financial position.
Not in view of the 'Solution' on pp 348, 349

Add to the list of reasons:

heroically, lose all fear, start again, avoid
counting doses lest I start a 'fear-complex' and
am well into the habit again before I am aware.
The remedy is to destroy the fear of forming the
fear-complex! |
