The paint is barely dry on a new church in New York, and under the scaffolding a fashionable congregation listens to a young rector preach a faith not one of them has troubled to examine. Esther Dudley comes out of curiosity, stays to take up a brush among the painters at work on its walls, and is loved by the man in the pulpit.

Faith is a state of mind, like love or jealousy.
Esther, Henry Adams
