C.S. Lewis Quotes

“Shortly after moving into The Kilns, Minto had engaged a gardener to help her with the eight acres of ground. His name was Fred Paxford, and he lived in a small wooden bungalow on the other side of the brick kilns. Paxford was a 'character', given to looking on the black side of every passing scene, and to lugubrious murmurings of 'Abide With Me' and other hymns while he toiled. His pessimistic character was fairly faithfully reproduced in Puddleglum, the Marshwiggle in The Silver Chair.”
