John Fowles Quote
I am Mrs. Poulteney. I have come to take up residence. Kindly inform your Master.His Infinitude has been informed of your decease, ma'am. His angels have already sung a Jubilate in celebration of the event.That is most proper and kind of Him. And the worthy lady, pluming and swelling, made to sweep into the imposing white hall she saw beyond the butler's head. But the man did not move aside. Instead, he rather impertinently jangled some keys he chanced to have in his hand.My man! Make way. I am she. Mrs. Poulteney of Lyme Regis.Formerly of Lyme Regis, ma'am. And now of a much more tropical abode. With that, the brutal flunkey slammed the door in her face.

About John Fowles
After leaving Oxford University, Fowles taught English at a school on the Greek island of Spetses, a sojourn that inspired The Magus (1965), an instant best-seller that was directly in tune with 1960s "hippy" anarchism and experimental philosophy. This was followed by The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969), a Victorian-era romance with a postmodern twist that was set in Lyme Regis, Dorset, where Fowles lived for much of his life. Later fictional works include The Ebony Tower (1974), Daniel Martin (1977), Mantissa
(1982), and A Maggot (1985).
Fowles's books have been translated into many languages, and several have been adapted as films.
