 What does Harry think about his wife's request to talk to the priest?
The crewman to his left bent over and whispered, "I'll bet he's gonna tell us it's gonna be another postponement." Nestir, the priest, was dressed out in the full ceremonial costume of office. Then he blessed them and took out His knife and lay open their sores. 'Secrecy makes for a long life,' as it says in the Jarcon ." "And like the three wise Vergios who went to the Prophet, one of the crewmen came to me. And the day is not very far distant," said Nestir. While they were still cheering and stomping and otherwise expressing their enthusiasm and approval, Nestir walked off the speaker's platform and into the officer's corridor. The steward ordered the holiday feast prepared in celebration of Nestir's announcement. He nodded curtly to the officers when he entered the mess hall, walked directly to his place at the head of the table, sat down and morosely began to work the cork out of his wine bottle with his teeth. The captain picked up the glass, brought it toward his lips—then, suddenly having thought of something, he put it back down and turned to Nestir. When the third mate saw that his opinion on the wine was not immediately to be justified, he settled back in his chair with a little sigh of disapproval. The whole issue involves, as a core point, the principle of casta cum mae stotiti ." "But it was a case of obvious intent ," continued Nestir, "and therefore constituted a clear out attempt to avoid his duty by hastening to his Reward." "That," he said to Nestir, "my dear Father, is the cardinal point of the whole game, y'know." After all, it's not only a question of how we go, but also a question of leaving only after having done our duty. The captain was not visibly cheered; he was still brooding about the sad absence of a sense of duty on the part of Nestir. "I don't know," the second mate's wife said, "whether you better count on my husband or not. "As I see it," Nestir said, "if the intent was the natural maternal instinct of the mother to release her child from its duty, then...." "Oh, not at all," the third mate's wife said. At that moment, he lost interest in his wife and leaned across the table toward the captain, "Well?"
