Synopsis "The Nebuly Coat "

Sir George Farquhar, Baronet, builder of railway-stations, and institutes, and churches, author, antiquarian, and senior partner of Farquhar and Farquhar, leant back in his office chair and turned it sideways to give more point to his remarks. Before him stood an understudy, whom he was sending to superintend the restoration work at Cullerne Minster. “Well, good-bye, Westray; keep your eyes open, and don’t forget that you have an important job before you. The church is too big to hide its light under a bushel, and this Society-for-the-Conservation-of-National-Inheritances has made up its mind to advertise itself at our expense. Ignoramuses who don’t know an aumbry from an abacus, charlatans, amateur faddists, they will abuse our work. Good, bad, or indifferent, it’s all one to them; they are pledged to abuse it.” His voice rang with a fine professional contempt, but he sobered himself and came back to business. “The south transept roof and the choir vaulting will want careful watching.

(Wiltshire, 1858 - Durham, 1932). Estudió en el Hertford College de Oxford, donde se licenció en Historia. Después de graduarse ejerció de maestro en la escuela de Derby, antes de ir a Newcastle para trabajar como tutor de los hijos de Sir Andrew Noble, director del Armstrong Whitworth Co., una de las mayores empresas armamentísticas del mundo a finales de siglo, que se convertiría en estratégica durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Aunque los principales intereses del joven Falkner eran la poesía, la arquitectura y la heráldica, su patrón le ofreció un cargo relevante en la empresa, por el que tuvo que recorrer medio mundo. Tras retirarse de los negocios en 1921, fue lector honorario de Paleografía de la Universidad de Durham y bibliotecario honorario de la catedral. Aparte de las tres novelas que escribió, también publicó varias guías topográficas y una historia de Oxfordshire.
