I'm trying to.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.036
Why did they lock you out?
00:00:05.084 --> 00:00:09.913
For fornication and conduct
unbecoming a man of the cloth.
00:00:10.068 --> 00:00:15.039
What were the circumstances
of the first offense?
00:00:15.056 --> 00:00:17.152
Fornication?
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.915
A young Sunday school teacher asked
to see me, privately in my study and...
00:00:23.998 --> 00:00:24.433
...well, she...
00:00:24.006 --> 00:00:27.637
She declared herself
to me, wildly.
00:00:27.096 --> 00:00:30.315
A declaration of love?
00:00:30.064 --> 00:00:33.598
Don't make fun of me, Miss Jelkes.
00:00:34.076 --> 00:00:36.352
I wasn't.
00:00:38.064 --> 00:00:41.234
I was the damnedest prig
in those days that you can imagine.
00:00:41.004 --> 00:00:44.756
I said to this girl, I said,
"Let us kneel down and pray together."
00:00:44.092 --> 00:00:46.273
And we did, we knelt.
00:00:46.044 --> 00:00:48.476
And then all of sudden, the...
00:00:48.076 --> 00:00:52.594
...kneeling position turned
into a reclining position.
00:00:54.012 --> 00:00:57.999
The next day, she cut herself with
her father's straight blade razor.
00:00:58.052 --> 00:01:00.909
- Fatally?
- No, no, no.
00:01:01.998 --> 00:01:03.001
Thanks to a Band-Aid.
00:01:03.036 --> 00:01:06.158
But it made a scandal.
00:01:06.999 --> 00:01:08.088
Yes, I imagine that it
caused some comment.
00:01:09.006 --> 00:01:12.996
