"But Audrey was a natural metaphysician. She loved, as she grew older, the facts which Catherine had taught her, simply for the sake of argument, deduction, and speculation. Also, the people in the Bible were human exceedingly, beyond anything in the world of history or literature. That they did, they did nakedly and without shame. They were greedy, they were ambitious, they lost their tempers and were rude to each other and the Almighty. Heroes did mean things, gross things, betrayed their friends and their women and yet came again and did gloriously. They were irascible, covetous and fanatically cruel. Yet behind it all Audrey could trace the trickle of a steady purpose . . . the conviction that life was not enough. They were even comic, some of them, but always the conviction was there."
– Elizabeth Cambridge (Barbara Hodges), Hostages to Fortune (1933)
