There is not a clean cup or towel in the Bishop-Home, but dirty Damien washed it.
Damien _was not a pure man in his relations with women_, _etc._ How do you know that?
Is this the nature of the conversation in that house on Beretania Street which the cabman envied, driving past ?--racy details of the misconduct of the poor peasant priest, toiling under the cliffs of Molokai?
Many have visited the station before me; they seem not to have heard the rumour.

When I was there I heard many shocking tales, for my informants were men speaking with the plainness of the laity; and I heard plenty of complaints of Damien.

Why was this never mentioned?
and how came it to you in the retirement of your clerical parlour?
But I must not even seem to deceive you.

This scandal, when I read it in your letter, was not new to me.

I had heard it once before; and I must tell you how.
