" Grace explains rather ruthlessly that she never thought of such a thing, it is the B.B.G. she wants Miss Slingsby to join, not the British Broadcasting Company – ‘Buy British Goods, you know.’ Miss Slingsby says, ‘Oh, but I always do,’ and is hustled away by her niece – who lives with her and treats her like a half-wit – before anything more can be done about it. On the way home Grace assures me that she finds the atmosphere and the society of Biddington ‘So Stultifying’. Feel that I can’t agree with her conscientiously until I have looked it up in the dictionary. "
