Had to buy this book for school ~ can't believe there isn't an updated version of this book yet. Somehow we’ve got to begin to tell the world where it gets off”.
So, in the midst of their covert deeds and dangers, hours of strenuous work and urgency to save lives, here we have what is the very epitome of a saint the evocation of service Jesus refers to in his Olivet discourse who makes the time to read “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” (knowing the parish would disown her) and who tells her apparently “difficult” (prim) husband she “wants to discuss it with him” and heroically advocates “somehow we’ve got to begin to tell the world where it gets off”.
