Brideshead Revisited

One of my all-time favorite novels is Brideshead Revisited.

I caught him with an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world and still to bring him back with a twitch upon the thread.  (Chesterton, from the Father Brown story "The Queer Feet" - famously quoted by Lady Marchmain in Brideshead Revisited)
