Ronnie’s hours at M.I.D. ended at three-thirty; he was living with friends in Kensington, and he went home every afternoon to write the history of his conversion, A Spiritual Aeneid. As soon as possible, he took the first steps towards his new priesthood. Once again, in his brothers’ view, he was somewhat indulged. He did not have to go to a seminary, and in the words of Father Corbishley, S.J. (in Ronald Knox the Priest), “few outside the ranks of the clergy will appreciate the remarkable liberality of such an arrangement.” Cardinal Bourne recommended him to live at the Oratory, “as a mixture of paying guest and theological student,” he told Winnie. He had his own quiet room, overlooking the carriages and treetops of the Brompton Road, where he could study and put his thoughts in order, and wait, under God, for the return of Guy Lawrence.
