Naughty Boy

Fifty years ago Evelyn Waugh died on Easter Sunday at his home in Somerset. He had just returned from Mass with his family. According to Fr. Philip Caraman, Waugh left the little village chapel at Wiveliscombe looking "benign and at peace, with a kind of tranquility and serenity that as a priest one often meets in people who are dying." Margaret Waugh wrote not long afterward that she believed her father had prayed for death that morning.
