It is you who have changed, Martha. You see him now with different eyes. (AUNTIE: Do I? I wonder!...) After all, why should we invite him here? Why should we be civil to him? What possible kinship can there be between us? As for his filthy money--how did he scrape it together? How did he come by it?... (AUNTIE: Yes, William, that's true, but the opportunity of turning it to God's service...) Do you think any blessing is going to fall upon a church whose every stone is reeking with the bloody sweat and anguish of the human creatures whom the wealth of men like that has driven to despair? Shall we base God's altar in the bones of harlots, plaster it up with the slime of sweating-dens and slums, give it over for a gaming-table to the dice of gamblers and of thieves?
