Excerpt from Atherstone Priory 'What time did Mary say they would be here, Helen?' asked Dr Tennent, walking, one cold afternoon in February, into the drawing-room at Atherstone Priory, and standing there while he buttoned up his great-coat in preparation for meeting the keen north wind which was whistling drearily without the house. 'What time did she say they would get here? Seven o'clock, was it?' 'No, six, I believe - unless they have changed their minds again since she wrote, which is not improbable. I do wish, ' continued Mrs Tennent, laying down her work for a moment to stir the fire, 'I do wish when people fix a time for coming to a place, they would keep to it. There is nothing I dislike more than such perpetual changes, and Mary knows it. I think she might have shown a little more thought.' 'My dear, I don't see how she could help it, ' returned the doctor, 'I don't think it was her fault. And, I can't tell what difference it makes whether they come to-day or to-morrow. It is not as if Percy were a stranger, and obliged to stand upon ceremony with us. The great thing is to get him here as quickly as possible; and if he is able to travel sooner than we expected, so much the better. London lodgings are wretched places, and there's no doubt he will be glad enough to find himself at home again.' There was no answer to this. Percy was not Mrs Tennent's son, and therefore it was not to be expected she could enter so entirely into his father's feelings of satisfaction at his return after a long absence as to exclude all other considerations.

The setting for The Priory is a large house ‘somewhere in England’, partly modelled on Newstead Abbey near Nottingham where Dorothy Whipple had a weekend cottage and partly on Parciau, the house on Anglesey where she stayed in 1934. And, as David Conville, who used to stay at Parciau as a child, writes in his Afterword: ‘The Parciau inhabitants in The Priory were hardly disguised.’ At the beginning of the book we see Saunby Priory: its ‘West Front, built in the thirteenth century for the service of God and the poor, towered above the house that had been raised alongside from its ruins, from its very stones. And because no light showed from any window here, the stranger, visiting Saunby at this hour, would have concluded that the house was empty. But he would have been wrong. There were many people within.’ The sentence is typical of the opening of a Dorothy Whipple novel. Gently, deceptively gently, but straightforwardly, it sets the scene and draws the reader in. We are shown the two Marwood girls, who are nearly grown-up, their father, the widower Major Marwood, and their aunt. Then, as soon as their lives have been evoked, we see the Major proposing marriage to a woman much younger than himself; and we understand how much will have to change. It is a classic plot (albeit the stepmother is more disinterested than wicked) and the book has many classic qualities; yet there are no clichés either in situation or outlook, just an extraordinarily well-written and absorbing novel by the writer who has been called the twentieth-century Mrs Gaskell.
