Quotes 

• Dr. Jo Hardy : [pacing back and forth]  I had to go down to that farm once and I asked to see inside the sheds out of curiosity. It's revolting! An obscenity!

  Prof. John Hardy : I quite agree.

  Dr. Jo Hardy : But I suppose to a boy in Lewis's state of mind, intent on self abasement, it might have held a sort of ghastly attraction.

  Prof. John Hardy : [absentmindedly as he reads a document]  Conjecture! Pure conjecture!

  Dr. Jo Hardy : But how did he have this obsession to keep going back?

  Prof. John Hardy : You believe that he cut off his own right hand and then succeeded in concealing the instrument so that a police search party couldn't find it all day!

  Dr. Jo Hardy : You see there was a phrase towards the end of his diary quoting Archbishop Cranmer just after his recantation.

  [Jo holds up her right hand for emphasis] 

  Dr. Jo Hardy : This hand hath offended!

  Prof. John Hardy : [John stares at her incredulously]  Jo! There are times when you come out with the most incredible rubbish with the same conviction that you normally talk common sense!
