Vicar.
I daresay there’s something in what you say.
John.
Well, it’s the same with me. If you ask me why I don’t believe in the existence of God I suppose I can give you a certain number of reasons, but the real one, the one that gives all the others their force, is that I feel it in my heart.
Vicar.
What is the cause of your feeling?
John.
I’m sure you’ll think it very insufficient. I had a friend and he was killed.
Vicar.
I’m afraid one must be prepared to lose one’s friends in a war like this.
