The
taller
of
the
two
women
looked
like
Helen
Deardorff
.
Or
didn
’
t
exactly
look
like
her
as
much
as
display
all
indications
of
spiritual
sisterhood
.
She
wore
a
beige
suit
and
pumps
and
smiled
a
good
deal
in
a
way
totally
devoid
of
feeling
.
Her
name
was
Mrs
.
Blocker
.
The
other
was
plump
and
slightly
embarrassed
and
wore
a
dark
floral
print
and
no
-
nonsense
shoes
.
She
was
Miss
Dodge
.
They
were
on
their
way
from
Houston
to
Cincinnati
and
had
stopped
by
for
a
chat
.
They
sat
side
by
side
on
Beth
’
s
sofa
and
talked
about
the
ballet
in
Houston
and
the
way
the
city
was
growing
in
culture
.
Clearly
they
wanted
Beth
to
know
Christian
Crusade
was
not
merely
a
narrow
,
fundamentalist
organization
.
And
just
as
clearly
they
had
come
to
look
her
over
.
They
had
written
ahead
.
Beth
listened
politely
while
they
talked
about
Houston
and
about
the
agency
they
were
helping
to
set
up
in
Cincinnati
—
an
agency
that
had
something
to
do
with
protecting
the
Christian
environment
.
The
conversation
faltered
for
a
moment
,
and
Miss
Dodge
spoke
.
“
What
we
would
really
like
,
Elizabeth
,
would
be
some
kind
of
a
statement
.
”
“
A
statement
?
”
Beth
was
sitting
in
Mrs
.
Wheatley
’
s
armchair
facing
them
on
the
sofa
.
Mrs
.
Blocker
picked
it
up
.
“
Christian
Crusade
would
like
you
to
make
your
position
public
.
In
a
world
where
so
many
keep
silent
…
”
She
didn
’
t
finish
.
“
What
position
?
”
Beth
asked
.
“
As
we
know
,
”
Mrs
.
Dodge
said
,
“
the
spread
of
Communism
is
also
the
spread
of
atheism
.
”
“
I
suppose
so
,
”
Beth
said
.
“
It
’
s
not
a
matter
of
supposing
,
”
Mrs
.
Blocker
said
quickly
.
“
It
’
s
a
matter
of
fact
.
Of
Marxist
-
Leninist
fact
.
The
Holy
Word
is
anathema
to
the
Kremlin
,
and
it
is
one
of
the
major
purposes
of
Christian
Crusade
to
contest
the
Kremlin
and
the
atheists
who
sit
there
.
