And how do you know that it's not a sudden death you'd get, and what would happen to you if you were to get a "death without priest?"
Maurya.
And wouldn't I be as well off as the thousands who got death without e'er a priest. I haven't much trust in the priests. It's sinners that's in them all; they're like ourselves, exactly. My own notion is that there's nothing in religion but talk. Did you ever hear mention of Páidín Críona[56] [wise Patsy].
Sheela.
I did, often.
Maurya.
Very well; did you ever hear his opinion about religion?
Sheela.
Indeed, I never did, but tell it to me if you please.
