John.
[With a smile.] What do you think of that, doctor?
Dr. Macfarlane.
It is an idea that we do our little best to spread about the world.
Vicar.
Anyhow, you take a doctor’s advice and you don’t argue with him. Why? Because he’s an expert, and you presume that he knows his business. Why should the science of the immortal soul be a less complicated affair than the science of the perishable body?
Mrs. Wharton.
Look upon us as very silly, old-fashioned people, and be kind to us. If various doubts are troubling you, put them frankly before the Vicar. Perhaps he can help you.
Vicar.
[Sincerely.] Believe me, I’ll do everything in my power.
