Chapter XII
In fear the other knelt. “You’re going to get religion now--here. You’re going to pray for what you didn’t get--and almost got--in the desert. You’re going to ask forgiveness for all your damn tricks, and pray like a fanning-mill for the spirit to come down. You ain’t a scoundrel at heart--a friend of mine says so.
