From "Content with the Stations," a short story by John Andrew Rice:
"He could go back now, anyway," I said. "Maybe not forty years ago, but by now
there are enough like him, even supposing that people remembered that he had
married the cook. So that's not all."
"No, that isn't all. It was, when they first came to this country, but now his
father is dead, and left him plenty of money, and he's an only son."
"Even so," I said, "he couldn't go back to the England he has kept with him
here. There isn't any any more."
"No," she said, "I suppose not. But he can't go back to his or any other
England."
