Father Percy Franklin, from Archbishop's House, Westminster," said the priest steadily.
"Well, then, Father Percy Franklin; can you tell us why you came here?
I mean, who sent for you ?" "Mrs.Brand sent for me." "Yes, but by what means ?" "That I must not say." "Oh, very good....

May we know what good comes of being 'received into the Church ?'" "By being received into the Church, the soul is reconciled to God." "Oh! (Oliver, be quiet.) And how do you do it, Father Franklin ?" Percy stood up abruptly.
"This is no good, madam," he said.

"What is the use of these questions ?" The girl looked at him in open-eyed astonishment, still with her hand on her husband's knee.
"The use, Father Franklin! Why, we want to know.

There is no church law against your telling us, is there ?" Percy hesitated again.

He did not understand in the least what she was after.
