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.

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.
