Quotes:

[first lines]
David Horton: [reading] "The wrath of the king was mighty and knew no bounds, and so they did leave that country and did with heavy heart return unto Japheth and unto Gad." Here ends the lesson.
Vicar Pottle: Let us pray. Dear Lord, we ask thee to bless all the members of this thy congregation, and we especially ask you to remember the Queen, who has been having trouble with her piles again, and Mrs. Sinclair Wilson and all her family.
[Alice whispers in Pottle's ear]
Vicar Pottle: Mrs. Sinclair Wilson who has been having trouble with her piles again, and the Queen and all her family. Amen.
