Book excerpt: A second meaning to the word 'maggot' is 'a whimsical or perverse fantasy' and it is a maggot of this variety that takes the Reverand Timothy Fortune, ex-clerk of the Hornsey Branch of Lloyds Bank, to the remote South Sea island of Fanua as a missionary. This 'pious escapade' brings him the joy of being let loose into the world for the first time.
