MORRIS. Ah, most mysteries are tolerably plain if you know the apparatus. [_Enter_ DOCTOR _and_ SMITH, _talking with grave faces, but growing silent as they reach the group._] I guess I wish we had all the old apparatus of all the old Priests and Prophets since the beginning of the world. I guess most of the old miracles and that were a matter of just panel and wires. CONJURER. I don't quite understand you. What old apparatus do you want so much? MORRIS. [_Breaking out with all the frenzy of the young free-thinker._] Well, sir, I just want that old apparatus that turned rods into snakes. I want those smart appliances, sir, that brought water out of a rock when old man Moses chose to hit it. I guess it's a pity we've lost the machinery. I would like to have those old conjurers here that called themselves Patriarchs and Prophets in your precious Bible.... PATRICIA. Morris, you mustn't talk like that. MORRIS. Well, I don't believe in religion.... DOCTOR. [_Aside._] Hush, hush. Nobody but women believe in religion. PATRICIA. [_Humorously._] I think this is a fitting opportunity to show you another ancient conjuring trick. DOCTOR. Which one is that? PATRICIA. The Vanishing Lady! [_Exit_ PATRICIA. SMITH. There is one part of their old apparatus I regret especially being lost. MORRIS. [_Still excited._] Yes! SMITH. The apparatus for writing the Book of Job. MORRIS. Well, well, they didn't know everything in those old times. SMITH. No, and in those old times they knew they didn't. [_Dreamily._] Where shall wisdom be found, and what is the place of understanding? CONJURER. Somewhere in America, I believe. SMITH. [_Still dreamily._] Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. The deep sayeth it is not in me, the sea sayeth it is not with me. Death and destruction say we have heard tell of it. God understandeth the way thereof and He knoweth the place thereof. For He looketh to the ends of the earth and seeth under the whole Heaven. But to man He hath said: Behold the fear of the Lord that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding. [_Turns suddenly to the_ DOCTOR.] How's that for Agnosticism, Dr. Grimthorpe? What a pity that apparatus is lost.
