Septimus

CHAPTER XI
20/31

But things do happen there eventually, and the time came when Zora found herself once again too big for the little house.

She missed the regulation of Septimus.

She missed her little motor expeditions with Sypher, who had sold his car and was about to sell "The Kurhaus, Kilburn Priory." The Cure seemed to have transformed itself from his heart to his nerves.
