Catharine Arnold Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. Death or Glory
Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be?
A. Taking family and friends to lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant
Q. With whom in history do you most identify?
A. It's more than one person; elements in the character of Siegfried Sassoon, Vita Sackville-West and the French writer Colette all strike a chord with me.
Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?
A. Gatehouse from The Shadow Line. That's if he really is a villain . . .
Q. How would you describe perfect happiness?
A. In this world, nothing can be perfect; but I'd settle for a family picnic at Calke Abbey, a good day in the Rare Books Room at the University Library, or riding my favourite horse up the meadow and looking down to see the clouds sweep across the valley where my husband is watching cricket on the village green.
