The soldiers come for the minister, and the wrong man gives them the minister's name. Dick Dudgeon is the scandal of a New England household so joyless it treats tenderness as sin, a man who drinks to the devil and is the only one under that roof kind to the child nobody will claim.

Martyrdom, sir, is what these people like: it is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.
The Devil's Disciple, George Bernard Shaw
