I hope you found him to be quite sound, theologically." "But it seems rather funny, doesn't it ?" said Phyllis; "but I really don't think that when I was listening to him I considered for a moment whether he was sound or the opposite in his views." "Funny?
It would have been rather funny if you had done that," laughed Ella.

"The question that a healthy girl--and you are a healthy girl, Phyllis--asks herself after talking to such a man as Herbert Courtland is not, Is his theology sound?
What healthy girl cares the fraction of a farthing about the theology of a man with a face like Herbert Courtland's and arms like Herbert Courtland's?
You talked with him for half an hour, and then come to me and say that you suppose he is the bravest man alive in the world.

That was right--quite right.

That is just what every healthy girl should say.

We understand a man's thews and sinews; we likewise understand what bravery in a man is, but what do we know, or, for that matter, care about his theology, whether it is sound or the opposite?
Nothing.
