Mavis looked at Miss Toombs wide-eyed.
"Does the fact of people agreeing to think it wrong make it really wrong?" asked Miss Toombs, to add, "especially when the thinking what you call 'doing wrong' is actuated by selfish motives."
"How can morality possibly be selfish?" inquired Mavis.
"It's never anything else. If it weren't selfish it wouldn't be of use; if it weren't of use it couldn't go on existing."
