She was practically an outcast, she had not even the ghost of a plan as to her future, and she had something less than five pounds in her pocket. That “entirely English” comment was said just to provoke me. After all, she found herself reflecting, behind her aunt’s complacent visage there was a past as lurid as any one’s—not, of course, her aunt’s own personal past, which was apparently just that curate and almost incredibly jejune, but an ancestral past with all sorts of scandalous things in it: fire and slaughterings, exogamy, marriage by capture, corroborees, cannibalism!
