wedgecroft. How?
trebell. Listen again, young man. In the youth of the world, when priests were the teachers of men . . .
wedgecroft. [Not to be preached at.] And physicians of men.
trebell. Shut up.
wedgecroft. If there's any real reform going, I want my profession made into a state department. I won't shut up for less.
trebell. [Putting this aside with one finger.] I'll deal with you later. There's still Youth in the world in another sense; but the priests haven't found out the difference yet, so they're wasting most of their time.
wedgecroft. Religious education won't do now-a-days.
trebell. What's Now-a-days? You're very dull, Gilbert.
wedgecroft. I'm not duller than the people who will have to understand your scheme.
trebell. They won't understand it. I shan't explain to them that education is religion, and that those who deal in it are priests without any laying on of hands.
