Suddenly Kate sat up. "Suppose the girl really has these powers?"
"That is impossible!"
"Why impossible? Do you men of science pretend to know all there is to know?"
"Certainly not; but think what such an admission involves."
"No matter what it involves. You don't ask what the X-ray involves; you ask, first of all, is it a fact? If the girl has these powers, then what? You don't even know what she claims, do you?"
"Not in detail."
"Well, then, don't condemn her till you know what you're condemning her for."
"Kate, you amaze me. I thought you would commend my cool judgment, my sanity, and lo and behold! as Aunt Celina says, you have become the girl's advocate and the assailant of science."
"Not at all. I merely say you scientific people should not be so insultingly sure that people with a faith are fools."
"We don't say fools—we merely say misinformed."
