[Thelma by Marie Corelli]@TWC D-Link bookThelma CHAPTER III 14/27
You will be a celebrated Scotch divine.
You will preach to a crowd of pious numskulls about predestination, and so forth. You will be stump-orator for the securing of seats in paradise.
Now, now, keep calm!--don't mind me.
It's only a figure of speech! And the numskulls will call you a 'rare powerful rousin' preacher'-- isn't that the way they go on? and when you die--for die you must, most unfortunately--they will give you a three-cornered block of granite (if they can make up their minds to part with the necessary bawbees) with your name prettily engraved thereon.
That's all very nice; it suits some people.
