“I have occasionally railed against the quantity of objects in this house, and I know from his reaction that Edward’s perception of them is different from mine. For him, the house represents continuity and tradition, security and roots. If he were turned out of the place tomorrow, even if he were left with a livelihood and somewhere else to live, he would be shivering like a man whose coat has been ripped off his back in a storm.”
