"You?" said Norton. "Haven't you been baptized?"
"Not yet."
"I thought everybody was. Then if you have not been yet, why do you? Whose notion is that?"
"It is mine."
"Your notion?" said Norton, examining her. "What do you mean by that, Matilda?"
"I mean, I want to be baptized; and Mr. Richmond is going to do it for me."
"What's it for? what's the use? I wouldn't if I were you."
"It is joining the church. Don't you understand, Norton?"
"Not a bit. That is something I never did understand. Do you understand it?"
"Why, yes, certainly."
