Old Bishop
Does this not shock you, ladies?
[after William rides into the cathedral on a horse to woo Jocelyn]

God's will has a purpose, but we may not know it.
[Extends his hand so that she may kiss his ring]
Jocelyn
Oh, that is lovely...
[goes to kiss hand, but instead admires the costly ring on his finger; laughs as the bishop briefly sputters before singing a hymn]
