He encouraged them to talk, combated none of their positions and, as Hank said, 'coaxed them out into deep water and had them froggin' for their lives. He was the biggest Freethinker in the bunch. They invited him to give a series of lectures. He did so, and that settled the Freethinkers' Club. He never blamed them for doubting anything, and I believe that's right."
Certainly some soft persuasion coaxed his very soul, urging him ever forwards, upwards, on towards the higher icy slopes.

Hilary said, in a hoarse whisper, his eyes murderous. Billy held him fast. "Not until you give me a gentleman's word you won't interfere," he said. Allys looked at him amazed, enchanted.
