It was perhaps an hour later, getting on for half past four, that Crispin, returning to the library to avoid R. B. Chisholm, who wanted to talk to him about the situation in the Middle East, found Chippendale in a chair with his feet on a table, reading a book of sermons.
He seemed to be glad to be interrupted, though he was a man who sorely needed all the sermons he could get his hands on.
(from The Girl in Blue, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
