Buried Alive: A Tale of These Days

CHAPTER III
34/42

What's it about?
_Priest_: Modern vice.
_Woman_: How charming! I read the last one--it was lovely.
_Priest_: Unless you have a ticket you'll never be able to get in.
_Woman_: But I must get in.

I'll come to the vestry door, if there is a vestry door at St.Bede's.
_Priest_: It's impossible.

You've no idea of the crush.

And I've no favourites.
_Woman_: Oh yes, you have! You have me.
_Priest_: In my church, fashionable women must take their chance with the rest.
_Woman_: How horrid you are.
_Priest_: Perhaps.

I may tell you, Miss Cohenson, that I've seen two duchesses standing at the back of the aisle of St.Bede's, and glad to be.
_Woman_: But _I_ shan't flatter you by standing at the back of your aisle, and you needn't think it.
