I can hardly believe that there is an article devoted to such a minor character in a single book. --JingleJim

OK, JingleJim, but what a character! What a book! And played in the movies by Orson Welles and on TV by Gregory Peck. What's not to like? ch (talk) 17:27, 10 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Actually, he is not that minor a character. His sermon is seen as a highly significant, even prophetic part of the book. In the future this page will reflect that view.MackyBeth (talk) 09:10, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
