Ste. I'm not fond of curates, Lucy. It's a soft job, and a real man looks for a fighting chance in life.
Walter. I get plenty of fighting to do, Mr. Verity.
Ste. Who do you fight with?
Walter. Evil, in every shape and form.
Ste. 'Um, the devil's game for a few rounds yet.
Walter. He's an old hand, and if we haven't knocked him out we're weakening his defence.
Ste. Well, I'll give you a chance of showing it.
Walter. In a good cause, I hope.
Ste. The cause is all right. You're a parson. Got the good of the poor at heart and all that sort of thing?
Walter. I hope so.
