Rose did not see how she could get along with someone who practiced little less than what she considered devil worship. But for Elijah's sake, she replied: "Nice to meet you too." It came out entirely unconvincing. She did not add 'father'. Her father had troubles with such titles in the Anglican church even. After all, didn't Jesus say they had only one father? She certainly wouldn't address a papist priest with that title. When the priest offered to go, Rose remained silent, but hoped Elijah would send him away. How had he turned Elijah's life around? Was he going to go to the Catholic Church more often now? At least he went to church, some would say. But it would mean Elijah would practice idolatry!
