«L’amicizia per Padre Brown data da molto tempo. Confesso che fui un po’ restìo ad avvicinarmi a lui, e per la veste e per la strana sua vocazione che lo spinge a fare, oltreché il prete cattolico, il poliziotto dilettante. Lo conoscevo di nome, ne avevo sentito parlare con entusiasmo da molti,...

I do not like seriousness. I think it is irreligious. Or, if you prefer the phrase, it is the fashion of all false religions.
