Excerpt from Audrey and John: The Story of the Oxford MovementFather Leslie was taking a brief bit of leisure after a hard day's parish work. But he looked up with a smile at his young niece, laid down his paper, and prepared for conversation.Audrey slipped into the big arm-chair opposite her uncle. She made a pretty picture sitting there in the big, roomy chair, a slim, graceful figure in a blue cotton frock, with long, brown-stockinged legs stretched out in front of her, the sun picking out flecks of gold in her hair.Well, Audrey, what's the matter? You look rather serious, said Father Leslie.I feel serious, answered Audrey. You see, this is What happened. The last week of term a Bishop came to talk to us about the Oxford Move ment.I don't see why that should affect your Spirits, answered her uncle.Oh, do listen, Uncle Will; I haven't got to the point yet. He was rather nice, quite youngish, and his speech was simply topping. You know the sort: while it goes on you feel as if nothing else mattered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
