Farley, I'll go with you to the padre at any time.

You state one side of the case, and I'll state the other.

If the padre doesn't back me, then I'll retract all I've said in open class meeting, and abide by whatever action the class may take." "Oh, bother the padre!" snorted Farley angrily.
"All right, then," answered Dave good-humoredly.

"If the class has a matter of ethics and morals that it doesn't dare submit to an expert in morals, then the class action is weak and wrong." "There's no use talking to you, I'm afraid," sighed Farley ruefully.
"But if you--" Here the call to study interrupted further discussion.

Farley, shaking his head gravely, left the room, followed by Page, who was shaking his head with equal force.
"If you think you're all right, David, little giant, go ahead," remarked Dalzell as he passed to his study desk.
"I think I'm right," Dave answered.
