Wolf Solent - pg. 11

It was, however, when staying in his grandmother's house at Weymouth, that the word had come to him which he now always used in his own mind to describe these obsessions. It was the word "mythology"; and he used it entirely in a private sense of his own. He could remember very well where he first came upon the word. It was in a curious room, called "the ante-room," which was connected by folding-doors with his grandmother's drawing-room, and which was filled with the sort of ornamental debris that middle-class people were in the habit of acquiring in the early years of Queen Victoria.
