"If our religion be a true one, God himself is at the head of it, and for so supreme a Chief the sons of kings are but of small account."

The Doctor, whose old eyes were not so quick to recognize the woman on the log, was amazed to see his companion go splashing, stumbling, ploughing through the water toward the shore.
