PRESCOTT. On the contrary, the Church should have benefited. People
in misfortune turn to religion.

BISHOP. But with empty pockets. However, I am not complaining for
the Church. It is my son I am worried about.

PRESCOTT. Ah, yes. Kenneth. An agreeable fellow, Kenneth.

BISHOP. Of the six years he's been out of college he has worked
only four months. Think of it.

PRESCOTT. Is he married?

BISHOP. No.

PRESCOTT. That's fortunate.

BISHOP. Perhaps. If he were married and had a dependent wife and
children he might get architectural work in a government slum
clearance project.

PRESCOTT. Exactly what I was talking about. The sooner the
government turns the building industry back to private enterprise
the better.

BISHOP. Kenneth's situation is tragic. He is a mature man, long
overdue to take a man's full place in the world.

PRESCOTT. [_Impatient._] Yes, I know--I know.
