Not only do we get another Lydia stuffie-- Hershey-- joining us this episode, we also get some of MacDonald's best writing. Here are a few quotes:

"Seeing is not believing. It is only seeing."

"It would be at least as bad to not believe him as it was for him not to believe her."

"We are all anxious to be understood... but there is one other thing necessary. To understand other people."

"It faded like poetry in a dream..."

As a somewhat skeptical dude-of-faith, I kinda love all of the above. It's very relevant to America, 2019.
