After a time he pushed her gently away and said, "My dear, my very dear, uhwe could drive down and find a minister in some little town?"

She looked at him steadily. "That wouldn't be very bright, would it? I mean, n.o.body knows we're here and that's the way we want it. And besides, your car might not make it back up that road."

"No, it wouldn't be very bright. But I want to do the right thing."

"It's all right. Potty. It's all right."

"Well, then . . . kneel down here with me. Well say them together."

"Yes, Potiphar." She knelt and he took her hand. He closed his eyes and prayed wordlessly.

When he opened them he said, "Whats the matter?"

"Uh, the gravel hurts my knees."

"Well stand up, then."

"No. Look, Potty, why don't we just go in the house and say them there?"

"Hub? h.e.l.ls bells, woman, we might forget to say them entirely. Now repeat after me: I, Potiphar, take thee,

Meade-"

"Yes, Potiphar. I, Meade, take thee, Potiphar-"
