Do you call it right fer Sid to go through the war an’ then be struck down by Andy the minute he gits home?

That ain’t fer us to say. [Piously] He knows what Sid done while he ’us away in the war. We don’t.

Andy ain’t a God-fearin’ man, neither!

[A vivid flash of lightning illumines the scene.]

I know he ain’t. An’ vengeance is on his track, too. It’s writ that the heathen shall rage an’ the wicked destroy one another. That’s a part o’ God’s plan.

That don’t make it right!

God don’t have to jestify his ways to man. Let Him be right if you have to make out everybody else wrong’s what I say, an’ they’s good Scripture fer it.

They’s Scripture fer everything! Job’s wife told him to cuss God an’ die!
