[Jovially.] It’s many a long day since you’ve been inside a church, Doctor.
Dr. Macfarlane.
Since you clerical gentlemen left off threatening me with eternal flames I feel justified in following my own inclinations in the matter.
Vicar.
[Chaffing him.] But we still believe in annihilation.
Dr. Macfarlane.
I’m willing to take my chance of that. It has no terrors for a man who’s not had a holiday for twenty years.
Vicar.
You’re not an irreligious man. I don’t know why you don’t come to church.
Dr. Macfarlane.
