Lois hesitated. "You are making me talk again, as if I were wise," she said. "What should hinder any one from knowing his duty, Mr. Dillwyn."
"Suppose a case of pure ignorance."
"Then let ignorance study."
"Study what?"
"Mr. Dillwyn, you ought to ask somebody who can answer you better."
"I do not know any such somebody."
"Haven't you a Christian among all your friends?"
"I have not a friend in the world, of whom I could ask such a question with the least hope of having it answered."
"Where is your minister?"
"My minister? Clergyman, you mean? Miss Lois, I have been a wanderer over the earth for years. I have not any 'minister.'"
