* When I was twelve, I spent every spare evening I had at Mrs. Lisboa's. There was a Mr. Lisboa, of course: but to me. the house was always hers. What first drew me there, I think, was the fact that she seemed to represent almost everything our taut little Cornish community most bitterly resented. Mrs. Lisboa was different and she refused to be assimilated.'
