'Twere well that you could also blow away the thunder which will alight upon your proud soul with ten thousand times ten thousand tons' weight! That omniscient God, whom you--fool and miscreant--are denying in the midst of his creation, needeth not to justify himself by the mouth of dust. He is as great in your tyrannies as in the sweetest smile of triumphant virtue. (FRANCIS: Uncommonly well said, parson. Thus I like you.) I stand here as steward of a greater Master, and am addressing one who, like myself, is a sinner--one whom I care not to please. I must indeed be able to work miracles, to extort the acknowledgment from your obdurate wickedness--but if your conviction is so firm, why have you sent for me in the middle of the night?
