"No," replied her father, "I will allow nothing of the kind under this roof. It's not a safe thing to have dealings with such people. We know that the Church forbids it.
"And do ye help all sick people in the temple?" The priest shook his head. "No. The mind of man, which should take in all these details of which I have spoken, makes mistakes very easily.
