I mean this: What is the building of this church to you? Are you so mightily interested in architecture, in clerical usefulness, in the furtherance of God's work? (AUNTIE: I am interested in your work, William. Do you take me for an atheist?) No: far worse--for an idolater! (AUNTIE: William...) What else but idolatry is this precious husband-worship you have set up in your heart--you and all the women of your kind? You barter away your own souls in the service of it: you build up your idols in the fashion of your own respectable desires: you struggle silently amongst yourselves, one against another, to push your own god foremost in the miserable little pantheon of prigs and hypocrites you have created! AUNTIE (roused). It is for your own good we do it!
