LAURA. Well,... have you seen Moses and the Prophets?
JULIA. I haven't looked for them, Laura. On Sundays, I still go to hear Mr. Moore. LAURA. That's you all over! You never would go o the celebrated preachers. But I mean to. (_Pious curiosity awakens._) What happens here, on Sundays? JULIA (_smiling_). Oh, just the same. LAURA. No _High_ Church ways, I hope? If they go in for that here, I shall go out! JULIA (_patiently explanatory_). You will go out if you wish to go out. You can choose your church. As I tell you, I always go to hear Mr. Moore; you can go and hear Canon Farrar. LAURA. Dean Farrar, I _suppose_ you mean. JULIA. He was not Dean in my day. LAURA. He ought to have been a Bishop--_Arch_bishop, _I_ think-- so learned, and such a magnificent preacher. But I still wonder why we don't see Moses and the Prophets. JULIA. Well, Laura, it's the world as we knew it-that for the present. No doubt other things will come in time, gradually. But I don't know: I don't ask questions. |
