He is, however, extremely attached to Claire, and will, I feel sure, when he sees that her happiness is at stake, come round to my views of the matter.
"There are," she said with a smile, "Catholics and Catholics, just as there are Protestants and Protestants.

I would rather see Claire in her grave than married to many Catholics I know; but neither you nor Walter are bigots." "No, indeed," Captain Davenant said.

"We came over to this country when Catholicism was the religion of all England, and we have maintained the religious belief of our fathers.

I own that what I may call political Protestantism is hateful to me; but between such Catholicism as mine, and such Protestantism as yours, I see no such broad distinctions as should cause us to hate each other." "That is just my view," Mrs.Conyers agreed.

"The differences between the creeds are political rather than religious, and, in any case, I consider that when neither of the parties is bigoted, the chances of happiness are greater in the case where the man is a Catholic and the woman a Protestant, than in the opposite case." "I think so, too," Captain Davenant said.
