You used to kick a great deal then. But I've stopped that. One does, doesn't one? And it was you who gave me the idol. TOM: Proselytizing, I'm afraid.

It recalls a parable of Charles Kingsley's which he related to Huxley. A heathen khan in Tartary was visited by a pair of proselytizing moollahs. The first moollah said, "O Khan, worship my god. He is so wise that he made all things!" Moollah Number Two said, "O Khan, worship my god. He is so wise that he makes all things make themselves!" Number Two won the day.
