[Evelyn Waugh sends the Duchess of Devonshire a copy of his Life of Monsignor Ronald Knox]
The inscription read, 'To darling Debo with love from Evelyn. You will not find a word in this to offend your protestant sympathies.' There were no words - all the pages were blank. The perfect present for a non-reader.
D. Devonshire, Wait for me (2010), 156
