“It used to be, didn't it? But don't get me into theology. I can't swim. The point is, will you marry Charity to me?”

“No!”

“Wouldn't you marry her to any man?”

“Only to one.”

“Who's that?”

“Her former husband.”

“But he's married to another woman.”

“I do not recognize that marriage.”

“Good Lord! Would you like to see Charity married to Cheever again?”

“Yes.”
