There's one thing I've never been sure about, said the rector.
Does Miss Pendleham realise there's something the matter with the house?
If not, the force of the charge against her is greatly weakened.
Of course she does.
How can you be so sure?
I watched her when we heard that ghastly cry.
"'Of course not.
"'Clara, that's a frightful thing to say.
"'You've just seen that wretched woman, haven't you?
"'Look here, Claude.
"'I'm an infidel, but I'd do it myself "'if I thought she'd take any notice of me, "'but she wouldn't, for she hates and despises all women.
"'But you are her spiritual advisor.'

There's need to be something to goad you to action.

Oh, I suppose so, sighed the rector.
But I wish I could consult the bishop first.
You'd get nothing but vague boomings.
Is your courage at the sticking point?
Yes, I'll do it.
