Dolly. Renie, you said Mr. Pilcher's sermon came just in the nick of time——
Renie. So it did.
Dolly. You don't call this the "nick of time"?!
Renie. Yes, indeed. I went to church in a perfect fever. I didn't know what to do. Well, as I listened to Mr. Pilcher everything became quite clear to me. I resolved I would accept Captain Wentworth's pure unselfish devotion and make it a lever to raise all my ideals and aspirations!
Dolly. But there wasn't anything in Mr. Pilcher's sermon about——
Renie. Oh yes, there was a lot about ideals and aspirations.
Dolly. Yes, but not the sort of aspirations you have for Lucas. I suppose you know he makes love to every woman he comes across?
Renie. He told me he had been led into one or two unworthy attachments.
Dolly. Yes! That's quite right. So he has! One or two!
Renie. That was before he met me.
